In 1981 following MOMO’s success as a leading
business in luxury car accessories, MOMODESIGN was founded, in order to offer to
the company a Style Centre specialized in research and design development.
Since the very first years, MOMODESIGN has focused on research activity in car
design and development of ideas and innovative projects in lifestyle
accessories, creating a product line that helped building the image of the
brand.
The patrimony it inherited was the image created by
Momo, a heritage handed down over the years, closely connected to the racing
world, especially to F1 and Ferrari, with products based on design and
avant-garde products for cars with a sporty and technological imprint.
During the early ’80, the technological DNA
contributed with the creation of an accessory line for men realized with highly
innovative materials: carbon fibre, titanium and magnesium, used for the
creation of the first watches and sunglasses. A choice that the market proved to
understand and appreciate.
At the end of the nineties after having sold the group MOMO to an American
company, Marco Cattaneo the managing director decided to detach himself from the
group and acquire MOMODESIGN, undertaking with the fundamental support of his
son and daughter Paolo and Eleonora, a new challenge: transform MOMODESIGN in an
independent and international brand with its own identity and philosophy.
The business today. Research, innovation and
creativity are still today MOMODESIGN philosophy strongholds.
Over the years MOMODESIGN has evolved but the style centre has maintained its
fundamental creativity role: a wide laboratory without division walls, offices
with every kind of material, colours, instruments, designers, architects and
stylists, this eclectic team perceives every signal from the external world.
Main role of the style centre is the definition and planning of objects with an
unmistakable, personal and characterising tract; MOMODESIGN objects.
The definition of guide lines start from the concept of a new model, with the development of design projects and successively style research: a meticulous study of details, materials and colors, to create an immediately recognizable product.
