GIVING FORM TO BEAUTY, FUNCTION, AND MEANING.
APS Designs is an interdisciplinary design studio shaping spaces, objects, and experiences with clarity, elegance, and identity.
Founded by Italian designer and artist Antonio Pio Saracino, the New York–based studio approaches design as a continuum across scales. Its work moves fluidly from the built environment and public realm to interiors, public art, objects, and collectible design. Guided by research, narrative, material intelligence, and a deep sense of place, the studio creates work defined by presence, proportion, and enduring beauty.
Selected Press
“A modern tribute to the Renaissance sculpture by the Italian architect and designer Antonio Pio Saracino titled ‘Hero,’ an apt homage to a work conceived 500 years ago to represent Florentine independence and virtue.” — The New York Times
“Twice garlanded with American Architecture Awards, Pio Saracino also designs buildings and products. Several of his designs are part of the permanent collections of museums around the world.”— AD Middle East
"He's among the most prolific italian industrial designers abroad and has been beatified by serial accolades. Antonio Pio Saracino, pugliese via New York, has won four Interior Design Magazine Future Furniture Awards (…)” — VOGUE Italia
“Much of the Italian-born, New York-based designer’s work is inspired by nature and is constructed from spliced segments. (…) Saracino has a rare ability to translate exotic notions into feasible blueprints for construction.” — ARTnews
