他拥有超过250家连锁店——包括普拉达、雷克萨斯和Vince Camuto的零售环境——意大利出生的布鲁克林区设计师和实践原则Sergio Mannino知道成功设计的原因。在阿莱西设计师ReMo BuTi和孟菲斯Maven艾托瑞·索特萨斯的训练下，曼尼诺的美感融合了意大利的感性和当代的天赋。壁纸*对曼尼诺说，他最近设计了一系列受艺术家John McCracken影响的限量系列灯具，讲述了他在意大利的童年，他的设计哲学和他的室内设计方法。

墙纸*：你是意大利人，所以你很小的时候就接触到了设计。你注意到的第一件事是什么？小时候你可以在Zanuso电视上看节目，我的床是由Marcel Breuer设计的。我们周围都是质量和美得惊人的东西，但它们是正常的。

你的设计理念是什么？我想说我的设计总是地中海式的。很好玩，很有趣。这和我们现在的生活方式有关。不管我设计了什么，我总是考虑人们在当今世界中的生活和互动方式-我对复制过去不感兴趣。每一次我们设计的时候，我们都会尽我们所能去做一些以前从未做过的事情。我们总是努力推一个信封。

你对室内的处理方法是什么？在办公室，主要工作是零售环境。他们的内饰必须非常成功，所以我们必须确保我们改进他们的品牌。我这么做是因为我有话要说。我们总是推动这种功能的理念-尤其是在美国，人们不惜一切代价痴迷于功能。功能只是其中的一部分。美也是另一种功能；在我的书中，一个不美的物体是不起作用的。

你最喜欢的地方是什么？他们大多是欧洲人。我的最爱之一，卡佩里尼，有一个惊人的收集像[Shiro]Kuramata一样的作品。一家我们详细说明的美国公司是Blu Dot，它很便宜，但是它有一个惊人的设计质量。Moooi，Flos.这些灯发展到绝对完美。任何细节都没有问题。
