\nTOP\u00a010 Minds behind the best brands of design world<\/strong> |\u00a0<\/em>Behind every great design company is an equally \u2013\u00a0if not\u00a0greater \u2013 business mind. Here is\u00a0a list of the brightest big bosses in the business; the men and women who match vision with strategic smarts, and manufacturing and design innovation with a confidence that quality will, eventually, win out.
\nOn one side, we have those eponymous heads of totemic and established companies at the top of their games: such titans as Carlo Molteni and Alberto Alessi,\u00a0Michael Maharam, Rolf and Mette Hay, Roberto and Renato Minotti, and Nadja Swarovski, the latter of whom has transformed a twee brand into a dazzling design patron.
\nOn the other, the power CEOs revitalising and pushing existing brands to the peak of their powers: Claudio Luti at Kartell, Kvadrat\u2019s Anders Byriel, Georg Jensen\u2019s David Chu, Restoration Hardware moderniser Gary Friedman, Marianne\u00a0Goebl at the Vitra-owned Artek,\u00a0ClassiCon\u2019s Oliver Holy\u00a0and Vitra\u2019s own co-CEO Nora Feldbaum.
\nIn between \u2013 though no less significant \u2013\u00a0are other tactical mega-minds such as Vipp\u2019s CEO and chief designer Kasper Egelund and Morten Bo Jensen (respectively), Flos\u2019 lighting maven Piero Gandini, SCP founder Sheridan Coakley, Emeco-embellisher Gregg Buchbinder, B&B Italia CEO Giorgio Busnelli and the sharply intuitive Patrizia Moroso.
\nIt\u2019s hard to underestimate the significance of our chosen 20 \u2013 the individuals with our contemporary design identity in their hands, and the facilitators pushing the world\u2019s brightest design talents to stratospheric new heights.
\nHere you have the TOP\u00a010 Minds behind the best brands of design world<\/em>:
