Founded in Turin, Italy in 1997, Nucleo is a collective of four artists including the director, Piergiorgio Robino, Stefania Fersini, Alice Carlotta Occleppo and Alexandra Denton. This interdisciplinary team is active in the field of contemporary art, design and architecture. The name of the studio ,Nucleo’ is a synonym for research, innovation and introspection and the studio’s objective is to find a connection between art and design in their work. Nucleo looks to identity, history and interlacing time frames as themes for their projects. Working in three-dimensional, architectonic forms, their work is typified by the tactile quality of the material and its effects on the objects. The studio experiments with innovative materials like fiberglass, resin or carbon fiber in order to discover new archetypes and merge the old with the new.  As the studio explains: ,,We  have always been interested in working with history, the lack of history, and the creation of it. Aspects necessary to build a memory. We believe that through making a past of the future, we can create a curiosity of history that has not yet happened.” Nucleo’s work has been shown in museum exhibitions worldwide including

important institutions in Italy, Belgium, Spain, France, United States, Germany, Brazil and Denmark. Selected works by Nucleo are currently part of the exhibition ,,Italian Design Beyond the Crisis Autarky, Austerity, Autonomy“ at the Triennale Design Museum in Milan on view until February 2015.
