Ed van Engelen

After graduating from the Design Academy Eindhoven in 1988, he has been working as a designer for international companies for more than 20 years, mostly in garden furniture related companies where he was responsible for the design of in- and outdoor products. Since 2008 he has worked independently for leading outdoor and decoration brands worldwide, winning international awards along the way. As an experienced designer he knows the ins and outs of all kinds of materials and can be involved in the process from the first sketch through to the last specifications in the factories.

studioPANG

Fabio Damiani and Marco Quistini set up studioPANG in 2012, based on the shared idea that combining diverse passions and skill sets enriches a project with new ideas and perspectives. Design, architecture and communication are opportunities for comparing and contrasting before being channelled into the project. studioPANG is a workshop constantly engaged in researching and developing ideas — an open, dynamic environment that leverages a wealth of experience to give rise to a versatile, multi-faceted practice.
