Paolo Cattelan is a Veneto man through and through, fascinated by life and passionate about his work. He joined the company in 1994 to manage the Italian market and after just three years he had expanded his remit to include the overseas market, where he achieved outstanding results, particularly in the United States and Asia. Internationality is an integral part of Cattelan Italia’s DNA and Paolo perfected the family’s strategy by strengthening the business model for the overseas market. This was more than just insight; it was a desire to do business without belying his ideas.

Over the years Paolo’s flair for business merged with the desire to study and learn more about different design trends. With his entrepreneurial experience and understanding of the markets, Paolo embarked on a creative journey that instinctively led him to create products that are essential yet imbued with innovative technology. Paolo Cattelan is fuelled by adrenaline; he studies statistics, but then turns them on their head; he loves the sea, but keeps his feet firmly on the ground. His greatest passion is for his family.
