About us
THEY USED TO SAY...
[...] Creolo Design è un'azienda che fonda il proprio valore sulla rete che ha generato e che continuamente tesse per crescere, spiega il suo fondatore e direttore creativo Edoardo Perri. Pone la propria missione nel mezzo di una crisi in atto da tempo: quella di un settore, l'artigianto tradizionale, che da decenni soffre di un distacco con il mercato e, in alcuni casi, dello sfaldamento del contesto di riferimento su cui basava la costruzione del proprio valore.
Sfruttando questa impasse come un'occasione, Whomade sviluppa strategie proprie per trasformare il limite dell'artigianato in opportunità.
Consulente e produttore allo stesso tempo, progetta connessioni, fisiche e concettuali, attraverso le quali guida l'artigianato nell'implementazione del suo saper fare, per lo sviluppo di nuovi oggetti in linea con i mercati, mantenendo tuttavia vive le pulsioni che caratterizzano l'atto artigianale, diversamente da quello industriale.
"Gli autori dell'innovazione nella rete che va oltre la crisi"

Stefano Micelli
Economist / Innovation Consultant / Journalist - VeniceDa alcuni anni ho il piacere di conoscere e collaborare professionalmente con il designer Edoardo Perri.
Tra le altre cose, Edoardo è stato mio brillante allievo che ho avuto modo di invitare in diverse occasioni a progetti creativi da me curati o che ci hanno visto collaborare e scambiare visioni nel campo del design e delle arti applicate.
Durante questi anni di conoscenza ho avuto modo di apprezzare non solo la creatività di Edoardo ma anche la sua professionalità nel relazionarsi al committente e nel lavorare e portare a termine un dato compito, curando nei dettagli le diverse fasi del progetto ed in particolare essendo capace di motivare il team di collaboratori e colleghi, nel raggiungimento dei migliori risultati.
La stima e l’apprezzamento personale verso le sue capacità e l’affidabilità della sua professionalità, mi permette di raccomandare Edoardo ed il suo raffinato creativo approccio verso il prodotto, nonché le sue qualità di project leader, senza alcuna riserva [...]

Arbol modular hanger
Fractal collection products are developed in collaboration with Luca Brenna's young Lombard craft reality. He works iron and mainly applies his art to custom made stairs and architectural elements. The collection is planned to give personality to the classic semi-processed iron rod that fills the laboratory and the forge as facility support element. With Fractal series we wanted to make the rod protagonist, studying for it the most delicate and at the same time solid equilibrium between aesthetic shape and construction technique: the fractal. WHOMADE Fractals become therefore mobile, aerial, exploded objects, built with extreme simplicity in a nevertheless tangled space system.

Superface
In a world dominated by images, what if reality would only be a surface? No more solid matters but archetypes of empty forms where objects lose consistency and images acquire substance.
SUPERFACE is provocatively the denial of content and a statement for an admittedly superficial kind of design whose dysfunctionality is a suggestion to rethink a new culture for the project and an authentic sense for the object.

Metal casting workshop - India
International design program and workshops of product development in the Indian region of Bastar, in collaboration with Saathi and groups of local producers. Dokra handcrafts refer to the homonymous technique of lost wax metal casting. In the Bastar region this technique is associated to the ‘Ghadwa’ community, which in the local etymology means: “to shape, create”. The collection reads anew the monolithic aspect of the single castings into an exploration of modular ornamental elements, starting from looking at the local heritage of figurative signs and symbols. Aluminum and brass are shaped into rings, bracelets, necklaces, pochette, but also containers and home decorative objects.
