Who is Elena Salmistraro

For Elena Salmistraro, emotion is to all intents and purposes a function of the object. In her work, which she carries out for the most famous brands in furniture design but also for outside-the-box giants such as Disney, Steinway, Apple, Nike or Huawei, she draws inspiration from illustration and street-art , from fashion and masks, from animals and nature in general, but also from traditions, mythology and the different cultures of the world.

Elena Salmistraro's creations are therefore eclectic, joyful and imaginative, and the result of her ability to put together art and industrial design in a mix that is highly appreciated today by those seeking design objects of meaning, capable of communicating something beyond mere function.

One of the priorities of her work is the meticulous study of the harmony of forms, researched in the expressiveness of objects, in animism, in the poetry of stories and in emotions.

It is this wealth of inspiration, modus operandi, sensitivity to anthropological, social and cultural influences that Elena Salmistraro now brings to the Milan Design School of the Istituto Marangoni as a mentor.
