Fauciglietti Engineering

Our Studio

FAUCIGLIETTI Engineering is a centre for research and product development with ISO 9001-2000 certification.
Established in 1986, the company's specific aim is to provide manufacturing and commercial companies with support during the - highly important and complex - product design and development phases. Today, the company boasts the development of more than 450 products, of which 55 are innovative and are protected by invention patents. Since its inception, FAUCIGLIETTI Engineering has received both Italian and international awards and recognition and was awarded the ADI Compasso d’Oro in 2008.
FAUCIGLIETTI Engineering is organised using cross-functional processes and, as such - albeit keeping different spheres separate (R&D, marketing, design, planning, model-making, prototyping, supplies) - has abolished hierarchies. In this manner, its team of multi-disciplinary designers and professionals can work together to adopt swift, direct decision making processes, noticeably diminishing time to market for products.
The company was founded by the engineer, Renzo Fauciglietti, who was born in Biella in 1941. At the time when the company was first established, Mr. Fauciglietti had gained the experience required for this type of undertaking while employed in managerial positions by leading companies in their sector. In time, he has integrated his skills and knowledge with specialist courses at Universities and research centres, with which he still works. His preferred field of work is the furnishing sector.

Graziella Bianchi and Renzo Fauciglietti Biography

Renzo Fauciglietti - Graziella Bianchi
Graziella Bianchi, vice-president of FAUCIGLIETTI Engineering, received her secondary school-leaving diploma in art education from the Cantù Furniture Art State Institute (Istituto Statale d'Arte per l'Arredamento).
Renzo Fauciglietti, after receiving his diploma in art education from the Cantù Furniture Art State Institute, attended STS (Higher Technical School of Engineering) in Switzerland, followed by a Master in Product design and innovation.
He consolidated and continually updated his know-how through collaboration with the most important cultural institutions in Italy and abroad: the Milan Polytechnic, MIP, ITI, Centro Volta in Como, SDA Bocconi, C.N.R. in Milan.
In 1986, Graziella Bianchi and Renzo Fauciglietti established the OK Studio and then, in 1989, as a direct offshoot of this, they launched the FAUCIGLIETTI Firm, with a precise intent to contribute to revamping R&D, planning and the creation of new design products with real innovative contents.
Fauciglietti has received various appreciations in Italy and abroad, including: Mentions at the Milan COMPASSO D'ORO and at the NESTE FORMA FINLANDIA 3; 1st and 2nd TECNHOTEL Prize in Genoa; Silver Medal at the BATIMAT, in Paris. In 1994, he was commissioned by the Lombardy Region to plan a new methodology for the development of industrial products.
