In 2003 he lived and worked in London, working in particular with the Ron Arad firm. He has had his own industrial design office since 2004. He works on a permanent basis with Christian Hoisl, a German designer with office in Munich, with whom he won the Red Dot Award, for the Pan chair by Garpa, in 2010.
Also in 2010, Ombrella, a Viabizzuno design developed with Mario Nanni, was selected for inclusion in the ADI Design Index.

A functional formal idiom with an emotive bonus - this sums up the design approach that Christian Hoisl has made his own. After studying industrial design in Munich, he and a business partner began to design office furniture, kitchen systems, outdoor furniture and lifestyle accessories for leading clients. In 2000 Christian Hoisl established his own design office in Munich and undertakes product development work on furniture, accessories and domestic appliances for various German and Italian manufacturers.
