A long experience gained from the tradition of a family-run design office started in 1960, in conjunction with an innovative dynamism - architects and designers Carlo, Anna and Paolo Bartoli started the professional association "Bartoli Design - studio associato di architettura e design" in 2007. After years of cooperation, Bartoli Design was the name already grouping Carlo, Paolo and Anna with Albertina Amadeo, Paolo Crescenti and Giulio Ripamonti since 1999.
