Sara Bianchi and Andrea Zambardi are the founders of Atto, a design and visual communication studio active since 2013. With a solid academic background in design, Sara and Andrea have gained extensive experience in the field of graphics, working on projects ranging from the creation of books and catalogs to visual identities for cultural institutions and companies. Their dedication to self-production has allowed them to explore new techniques and materials, enriching their design approach with continuous theoretical and formal research.
Since purchasing their first Risograph printer, Sara and Andrea have undertaken a path of experimentation that has led them to create limited editions, obtaining important awards such as the Silver Medal at the European Design Award for the Avant Garde project. Their expertise is not limited to printing, but extends to teaching graphics at prestigious schools in Milan. Inspired by figures such as Irma Boom and Jonathan Barnbrook, they integrate a balance between aesthetics and content in their work, aiming for visual communication that is both functional and engaging.
