Encounter with Domenico Qioffi


Domenico Cioffi, young label by Italian designer with the same name. He debuted with a show during Amsterdam Fashion Week in January 2013. The brand identity is expressed through inspiration coming from the Mediterranean culture and minimalism of Northern Europe.

Q & A with Domenico Cioffi

B.P. Can you please introduce yourself?
D.C I am Domenico, Italian designer, based half in Italy where I continue to work for other brands and half in the Netherlands where I started my brand.

B.P. Your educational background? Where did you study?
D.C On my secondary school I studied jewelery design. Later I studied Fashion Design at the European Institute of Design. I started in Milan and I graduated in Rome.

B.P. Where are you based at the moment?
D.C Right now I'm a gypsy, I travel a lot for work and I live between Holland and Italy.

B.P. How is your life as a designer/artist in your country or city?
D.C Life as a designer is beautiful but also very difficult, especially when you are beginning, like me. I think that in the Netherlands it’s easier to start something, young people have more opportunities.

Martin Visser: collector, designer, free spirit at Bonnefantenmuseum Maastricht

Last week Bonnefantenmuseum opened a new exhibition 'Martin Visser: collector, designer, free spirit'.  I was very honored with a guided sneak preview of the exhibition by the museums curator Paula van den Bosch a week before the official opening.
I visited the exhibition again during the annual Tefaf Afterparty that was help at Bonnefantenmuseum 15th of March.
The exhibition shows a very diverse, rich and fascinating life of Martin Visser and guides us through half a century of intense involvement with the avant-garde in the fields of art, furniture design and architecture.

Here is an overview of the exhibition, but it;s best if you go and see it yourself!
The exhibition is open until 17th of June 2012.
