Design plays a vital role in our business.
In 2011 we have created the GRANORTE DESIGN CENTER, a collaborative interdisciplinary team where Innovation by Design is the core function.

Graduated in Industrial Design, Alzira Peixoto and Carlos Mendonça develop their activity as Designers and Consultants in several areas of Design since 1995. As a team, they created SimpleFormsDesign, a company well associated with the use of new materials, which they transform in lifestyle objects with a very personal and innovative language, internationally recognized by several design awards like Red Dot, DME, DesignPreis, iF or Good Design.

Working with Granorte since 2011, they are part of GRANORTE DESIGN CENTER, responsible for creating collections like RECOLOUR, VITA DECOR, 3DFORMS, STORYWALL and NUSPA.

Marco Carini was born in 1968 and graduated as interior designer at the Istituto di Arredamento e Architettura d’Interni in Cremona. He has made Mies van der Rohe's motto "I do not want to be interesting, I want to be good" his own and, in his work, he constantly explores, in his daily desire to find the right solution mixing the best materials and the most suitable components. His architecture is a way to turn poetic, the flow, sometimes prosaic, of life. His intervention is tailored to meet a specific need, listening to customers, absorbing their needs, and working the spaces in a harmonious way. Marco Carini also creates design elements: over the years he has been responsible for the design of Porro showroom and a lighting projects consultant for Davide Groppi.

Working with Granorte since 2016.
