Marco Oggian (Venice, 23 March 1990) is an Italian multidisciplinary designer, artist, and illustrator, renowned for his distinctive visual style rooted in simple geometric forms and vivid colours, often addressing social and critical themes. [1] [2]

Career

Throughout his career, Oggian has worked on international projects collaborating with brands such as Zara, Nike, Samsung, Campari Soda, Apple, Vogue, and North Sails. His work is characterised by the use of bold colours, geometric shapes, and an ironic approach to social, controversial, and critical issues, including discrimination and racism. [3] [4]

Among his most notable projects are the development of pieces for Qeeboo in collaboration with designer Stefano Giovannoni, the creation of the creative studio Brutto, and his partnerships with international brands such as North Sails, for whom he designed a collection showcased at Milan Design Week. His work has been exhibited in galleries and museums in cities including Paris, Barcelona, Berlin, London, Milan, New York, Seoul, Turin, and Tokyo, and has been published in over thirty books specialising in design, branding, illustration, and typography.

His work remains a point of reference in the field of contemporary design, advocating a democratic vision of art and aspiring to make his creations accessible to all. [7]
