“The quality in the Editorial Design category was remarkably high, and a tendency is clearly recognisable: the designers regard brochures and annual reports as design products and thus include all aspects that belong to good design such as materials, form and colours, and design them consistently down to the last detail.”

Leonardo Sonnoli, born in Trieste, Italy, in 1962, studied at the Istituto Superiore per le Industrie Artistiche di Urbino (ISIA Urbino) before working in the Tassinari/Vetta studio in Trieste, where he is currently a partner.
