Pininfarina

Paolo Trevisan, SVP of Design at Pininfarina of America, leads the studio from Miami — bringing over 90 years of Italian design heritage to architecture, industrial design, and outdoor living.

Biography

Founded in 1930 in Turin, Italy, by Battista "Pinin" Farina, Pininfarina is a global icon of Italian design. For over nine decades, the studio has shaped the world's most celebrated automotive designs — from Ferrari and Alfa Romeo to Maserati — before expanding into architecture, industrial design, and interior design through Pininfarina Extra, established in 1986.

Paolo Trevisan serves as Senior Vice President of Design at Pininfarina of America, the Miami-based subsidiary established in 2006. As head of the architecture and industrial design department, Trevisan bridges Pininfarina's storied European heritage with the creative energy of the Americas, leading projects that span residential towers, luxury interiors, and product design.

For IBTW, Pininfarina has created the MODO collection in collaboration with Green House, a Brazilian brand specializing in high-performance outdoor furniture. MODO embodies a seamless balance between simplicity and refinement, elegance and functionality, comfort and technology — a new vision for outdoor living that brings the same level of sophistication found in architectural projects to outdoor spaces.
