Maximiliano was born in Brazil in the mid-1970s and studied architecture, specializing in design. In 2012 in São Paulo, he opened his own interior architectural studio, creating conceptual projects and bespoke spaces as a means of expression, inspired by his interest in aesthetic and behavioural styles from the 1920s, 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, such as Art Deco , Pop Art and Italian Maximalism. Challenging conventional notions of plasticity and embracing the eccentric and the bold to combine geometric patterns and abstractions from nature with vibrant colour palettes, Crovato injects a sense of fun and whimsicality into everyday spaces, transforming them into imaginative, feel-good environments. Crovato's modus operandi is free design and full scale moulding in cardboard, and then he continues with prototyping and manufacturing in his studio. His creations feature unexpected angles and lively combinations, gaining recognition for their fusion of art and functionality.
