ABOUT US
Idea Design International was founded by Paolo Pardini and Carlo Lapucci, creators and owners of the trademark.
For more than twenty years, their work has drawn inspiration from the concepts of practicality, reason, and aesthetic appeal – values that take form over the course of developing and implementing projects in interior and exterior design, architecture, and industrial design.
An idea emerges from the raw material itself – the ability to unleash the beauty contained therein and to find a way to perceive and express the shapes already present in unhewn stone or empty spaces.
Idea Design International creates settings for homes, villas, hotels, wellness centers, spas, stores, yachts, sailboats, cruise ships, etc. Projects that originate with a concept and come to life as a finished product reflecting the client’s dreams and needs, all the way through to turn-key delivery.
Settings designed by Idea Design International are finished right down to the last detail and carefully studied through 3D and graphic programs that provide a virtual representation of the space to allow the most effective selection of materials and components.
This is how to reach a goal – by creating spaces, no matter where in the world, which know how to integrate the personal qualities of the people living there, while surrounding them with all the artisan quality and tradition that go along with “Made in Italy.”

PARDINI
Born on the 20th March 1966 in Pisa in a region rich in history, art and handicraft: Tuscany.
