Elena Salmistraro is a celebrated product designer and artist based in Milan, where she has earned numerous accolades for her distinctive designs. Just a year after securing her degree from the Polytechnic University of Milan in 2008, Elena and her architect husband, Angelo Stoli, unveiled their collaborative studio. Elena's work gracefully straddles the line between art and design, and her creations are both emotive and whimsical. Characterized by bold flair, her pieces combine sculptural forms, intricate patterns, and radiant colors. Nature deeply influences her designs, as seen in the anthropomorphic characters and organic shapes that dominate her work. She has partnered with notable brands such as Seletti, Alessi, and De Castelli. Beyond Italy, Elena's influence is felt internationally, with her creations being featured at prestigious venues like the Triennale Design Museum of Milan, Shanghai Biennale, and Maison&Objet Paris.
