Product designer and artist, Elena Salmistraro lives and works in Milan. Her creations are the result of an artful design mix. Utmost care for details, painstaking search for shapes’ harmony, and poetic style characterize her projects. One of her work’s priorities is the search for objects’ expressive language, which may fascinate people by evoking emotions. Her projects have been selected for some of the most important art exhibitions including: "The New Italian Design," a traveling exhibition organized by the Triennale Design Museum of Milan and curated by Silvana Annicchiarico and Andrea Branzi, with stops in San Francisco, Santiago de Chile, Cape Town; the "The New Aesthetic Design" at the 2013 Shanghai Biennale for the Triennale Design Museum and at the 2015 Gwangju Biennale, South Korea.

In 2017, she won the “Best Emerging Designer Award” at Salone del Mobile's “Salone del Mobile Milano Award”. Elena Salmistraro’s works have been displayed at major Italian and international design industry fairs, including Salone Internazionale del Mobile (Cosmit-Milan), Step 09 (Milano), Maison&Objet-Paris, Homi, and the Stockholm Furniture and Light Fair (Stockholm, Sweden).
