ITO Design is a multinational industrial design studio with offices in Nuremberg, Germany and Cham, Switzerland. Established by Armin Sander in 1987, it has established a good design reputation internationally and has a cross-industry multinational team to design original and innovative products and furniture.
From tobacco pipes to children's scoops, tool measuring machines and TVs, to highly complex dental workstations-in the past thirty years, ITO Design has accumulated a lot of experience in product development and has been deeply involved in a wide range of industries. In order to simplify the process, as time goes by, we are faced with the problem of specialization. ITO Design chose to focus design talents on products with technological innovation space and patent development opportunities. In 1998, with Tensa for König+Neurath, the first product in the office chair field, a spontaneous breakthrough was made in this field. To this day, ITO Design still regards it as the focus.

The journey of “STUDIO MITO” begins in 1998 thanks to the interesting joining between the more than decennary experience of Stefano Pirro and the uniqueness expression of architect Gabriele Rossi .

The two designers found fil rouge chosing to carry on contemporary living issues and trying to offer new solutions to continue "good drawings" logic of italian design: purposeful and well-established in researching. The direct consequence was the multidisciplinary interest fields, preferring that ones mostly related to the two designers (architecture, industrial design, interior decoration), but even on that ones related to visual communication and artistic-formal (fashion, graphic design).

STUDIO MITO is always a work in progress: it is in costant reserching of dialouge and collaboration between people with varied skills and competences.

Thanks to these premises,the Studio is able to satisfy every kind of design process need,counting on a prototypist and technical consultants group, who are always able to solve project realization problems, emphasizing the opening to constructive and sincere dialogue between the internal components and the many external collaborators.

They have given numerous lectures and workshops at various universities both in Italy and abroad. Apart from participating in various design exhibitions in Europe and U.S. ,STUDIO MITO has also been the subject of important retrospective shows mounted in prominent European cities, including Milan, Koln, Paris and London, and they have served as art director for a number of international design events. In addition, they have been invited to sit on prestigious juries for a variety of design competitions held both in Italy and abroad.
