Biography

[edit]

Nichetto was born in 1976 in Venice. He had sold designs to factories during his holidays in school. He schooled at the Istituto Statale d’Arte in Venice and graduated in 1998 with a degree in industrial design from Università Iuav di Venezia (IUAV).[1] The subsequent year saw him join forces with Salviati,[2] and he later took on roles as a product designer and consultant for the lighting firm Foscarini.[3] In 2006, he ventured into establishing his own firm, Nichetto Studio, in his hometown. By 2011, he relocated to Stockholm, Sweden, to start a family and launch a second studio.[1][4]

The 2021 exhibition Emphatic: Discovering a Glass Legacy at Punta Conterie Gallery in Murano included works by Nichetto, who also curated the exhibition. Designers Ini Archibong, Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance, GamFratesi, Benjamin Hubert, Richard Hutten, Elena Salmistraro, and Marc Thorpe also participated.[5]
