An extraordinary mix of design, fine art and photography, Profilo creates personalized gift ideas. Founded in 2015 by designer Andrew Vianello, Profilo captures the profile of your loved ones by stopping time and creating an object that immortalizes a memory or bond. The sculptures are skillfully handcrafted by Italian artisans using a variety of metal wires, including precious ones, to recreate human and animal silhouettes, as well as cars, boats, motorcycles, and various subjects. Profilo is based in Venice, Milan, and Paris and can be found in pop-up stores in other cities.
From a universally known word, made by PRO and FILO, new objects will stem from
Histrionic and perfectionist, smart and multitasking: Andrew Vianello is an all-around enthusiast in the art of creating. Scenographer first, designer later. During his long career he has tried his hand at creating sets for commercials and a variety of scenic installations. He has worked alongside several designers and collaborated with design studios in Paris and Milan, advising on architectural models, material research and moodboard creation. But it was in the French capital that in 2015 he founded the brand Profilo, which immediately, was recognized for its innovation and proposed to the clientele of the department store Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche, which dedicated several pop-ups to him in the department store's events.
Several fashion brands, on the other hand, commissioned him to create large sculptures for installations and events, again with the Profilo concept.
With his metal wire invention, Profilo presents "timeless" sculptures by simply starting with one or more photographs or a model of a car or boat.
Andrew Vianello thus proposes new objects, not only for decorative purposes but especially with the goal of stopping a memory, always with a poetic and distinctive essence, not only for the Profilo name.
Obviously to be gifted and given to oneself.
