Originally from South Tyrol in Italy, Thomas is a product designer based in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. He studied in the department of Motion at Design Academy Eindhoven, where he graduated in 2022.
During his studies, he worked as a product designer at Raak Design, based in Belgium, for companies such as Anex, BlueCorner and Grindosonic.
His work has a strong focus on speculative solutions, and aims to make complex issues accessible and understandable. He wants to demonstrate that by rethinking the systems we live in we can show the world how planet resources can be used in much better way than we are doing today.
His designs are relevant, timely and thorougly realistic, aiming to demonstrate the future as if we were already living in it.
