Matteo Cibic is a product
designer and creative
problem solver. He loves
to invent new products
by working with craftsmen
that are interested in
experimenting with different
materials and production
techniques.
Matteo’s creative process
is often sparked by basic
things such as ideas that
come from the subject and
the materials and from his
knowledge and study
of production mechanisms.
These help him to search
for new technical solutions
and working techniques which
can then be transformed
and used to create new
objects. One of the outstanding
aspects of Matteo’s products
is that they often hide
unexpected functions,
creating an interaction
with the user.

Matteo Cibic è un product
designer e creative problem
solver, che ama inventare
nuovi prodotti attraverso
la collaborazione con artigiani
interessati alla sperimentazione
della materia e delle tecniche
di produzione. Il suo processo
creativo nasce spesso dal basso,
nel senso che parte dalle
suggestioni della materia e dei
materiali e dalla conoscenza e
approfondimento dei meccanismi
produttivi in atto, per ricercare
nuove soluzioni tecniche
e processi di lavorazione che
si risolvono poi nell’ideazione
di nuovi oggetti. I suoi prodotti
si distinguono spesso perchè
nascondono funzioni inaspettate,
creando un rapporto di interazione
con il fruitore.

HIS STORY.
Matteo Cibic was born in Parma, Italy, on October 5, 1983.
After spending his infancy playing with legos, Matteo learns of the clerical
vocation and dedicates himself to being a full time altar boy,
aspiring to some day take on the responsibilities of a pontiff.
After his confirmation, his clerical period ends and his career as a basketball
player begins. After three years with Benetton Treviso and a sad year
at the scientific lyceum of Mogliano Veneto, he decides to dedicate himself to art,
and he enrolls in the artistic lyceum of Venice, where he learns
the meaning of the term anarchy and passes entire days laughing
and stirring up trouble. The following year he signs up for the second year of Btec
in Art&Design, discovering the life of an English university student and
the incredible artistic panorama that populates London, and having fun frequenting
and discovering that which already achieved fame as BritArt.
Recalled by the Italian Embassy in London, he returns to Venice to finish
the artistic lyceum. Upon returning he collabores with Studio Camuffo and
works as a guide for visiting artists at the Centro Candiani and Fabrica.
Once he finished lyceum, he moves to his uncle’s home in Milan and enrolls
in the Milan Polytechnic university, where he earns a product design degree while
working full time at Cibic&Partners. In Milan he begins to collaborate with other young
artists and indulges in the favor of Pasquale Leccese’s gallery Le Case d’Arte ;
he produces large sculptures in polystyrene and foam rubber, videos and large canvasses.
In 2004, with Reis Straver and Andres Raymondes, he realizes the videos
for Microrealities which were presented at the Venice Biennale and at the
Kunsthaus Muzeum in Graz, Austria and the project NewStoriesNewDesign
always with CibicWorkshop.
Never having distinguished himself for his elegance, he falls in love with
a fashion student who flees for Antwerp, and it is here that his interest for fashion
illustration and accessories begins. In 2005, pushed by his entrepreneurial spirit,
he rents a studio in Milan and begins his own company realizing advertising
campaigns and videos for fashion firms. He has been a student at Fabrica
(Reasearch Centre of Comunication of Benetton). In 2007 at April Milano he developed
the National Geographic and Furla store concept and design.
He found 5minutesfriend.org in April 2007. In 2008 with his partner Daria Dazzan
found AAAAAAAAA that produce one-of-a-kind suspender pants tailor made in Italy,
and then develop the new Australian brand Quatha.
In June 2008 found ABC! with Marco Campardo and Lorenzo Mason.
He likes to travel a lot and suffer to stay more than 2 nights in the same be
