Federico Delrosso, architect and designer from Biella, operates at international level from 2001, when he estabilished his studio Federico Delrosso Architects in Milan, dedicated towards architecture, interior and product design.
Respecting the natural surroundings, urban context and the spirit of the spaces, intense like the energy and conscious imprint in the memory of spaces, Federico Delrosso conceives projects with a refined lightness characterized with a minimalist and naturalistic approach.
The homogeneity of materials, often left natural and raw, and the study of light, sensed as an emotional and tangible component of each project, represent the essential elements of his stylistic research and the very idea of architecture. The latter is in fact conceived as a “self-seeking soul in every detail of light and shade to reach the delicate balance that makes it independent of those who created it, lives it or will live it.”
In the field of design of furniture and lighting, many important collaborations were made with brands like Davide Groppi and HenryTimi. The wall lamp Mima (2007, for Davide Groppi) was nominated for the 21st Compasso d’Oro 2008 and joins as a permanent collection of ADI (Association for the industrial design).

The passion for building together with the constant search for overcoming the theoretical and practical limits leads him to conceive the new Slim35mm material for Tabu and Marmocode, an innovative assembly of the scraps made from the marble processing, with which he designed for HenryTimi the collection of table accessories fd802.
