Studio Nooi was founded in 2020 by Giulia Pesce and Ruggero Bastita from Torino, Italy. The name Nooi is an amplification of the Italian word ‘noi’, meaning us, describing how design never is an individual act but rather a collaborative process. The duo met during design studies at Politecnico di Torino and continued their educational journey at Designskolen Kolding. After four years in Aarhus, Denmark, they moved back to their hometown Torino to found Nooi which stands for design influenced by society, art, nature and cultural heritage.
