Raymond Maggiore is a Swiss/American Product and Service designer based in the great city of Zurich Switzerland. With a unique world view based on international upbringing he designs products and systems founded on research and users needs while injecting a bit of pizzazz into every designs form and function. A combination of luxury craftsmanship to create sustainable products, mixed with an solid understanding of the inner and outer workings of new technologies, has helped him create the oddly simple complex objects required in this modern world.. With every product he believes in trying to do better, and raise the bar a little higher in every aspect of design.
He also happens to be an avid board rider, Thai boxer, photographer, climber and world travelled who you can normally find power sliding around your city or enjoying the cold air in one of the many Swiss mountain ranges.
