Claudio Dondoli and Marco Pocci are originally from Colle d’Elsa, near Siena, where the “Archirivolto” studio still has its head office today. Dondoli and Pocci met in Florence at the university faculty of architecture where they were part of the same team. In 1983 they opened an industrial planning and architecture studio, which from 1989 has been working exclusively on industrial design.

For the “Archirivolto” studio a project starts from the direct relationship with the customer, a good product has to have an affordable price.

The search for the most innovative materials and processes allows for the best results to be achieved in terms of a quality-price ratio; this is one of the main activities of the studio. The Gliss Chair being one of their many successful ventures.

For Archirivolto, design means beauty, harmony and freedom; it cannot be bound by strictly, established rules, neither be a privilege of a social or cultural class
