[…] The nature of an object can have a fundamental aesthetic connotation that is either immanent or transcendent, in differing degrees of each. It is immanent when its identity is based on signs and values that are intrinsically connected to the nature of the object. It is transcendent when its identity is projected onto the scale of the subjective notions of the person who created it or the person who will use it.

Clino Trini Castelli
Born in 1944, Clino Trini Castelli is a designer, artist and design theorist lives and works in Milan. Internationally known for CMF design (Color, Material and Finishes) of which he was the initiator, Castelli introduced the “No-form” renewal of plastic languages applied to industrial products through the tools of Design Primario.
As opposed to traditional compositional methods, Clino Trini Castelli has focused on the design of the more intangible aspects of figuration, like color and material, light and sound, emphasizing the virtues of a sensorial approach to art and design.
Since the early 1970s this has made him a pioneer in research on the emotional identity of products in the industrial sector. His work has received important European, American and Japanese prizes, including two ADI Compasso d’Oro awards.
