The Microdermabrasion device was designed and developed by Robert Radi for Neutrogena

Robert Radi is a designer for today’s demanding marketplace. He combines the sense of a true artist, dedicated to providing product designs that achieve incredible and unique aesthetic functionality, with the sensitivities of an experienced engineer, focused on creating designs that meet the manufacturing, ergonomic, and technical requirements necessary for high functionality of the end product. In today’s world of “high tech” manufacturing, the possibilities for achieving the lofty goals of product developers have increased dramatically. However, this places great demands on today’s product designers. Robert Radi has taken the time and effort required to continually increase his awareness and understanding of the ever-changing needs of product developers in order to remain on the forefront of product design, style, and technological trends. Robert Radi creates a synergy between style and function, across core industries and product categories which is rare in today’s world of either highly designed product that places look and feel over function or overly functionally designed product that is unapproachable by the average consumer. Radi designs meet the need for functionality while remaining true to the substance of the product and the identity that the product is meant to achieve for the end user and/or customer. From the very beginning Mr. Radi business approach was to maintain a highly effective and manageable operation, as his wish was to be a designer and not a manager, thus creating a structure suitable to design products for Clients of any size. |
“….a synergy between style and function, across core industries and product categories….”

Radi in Italy is not an anonymous last name. It is a brand name that since 1926, first under steady leadership of its founder Serafino Radi and then under the strong management of his son Mario, has meant quality and innovation. Today, it is still a brand that the Merloni Group S.p.A. owns with pride, after having purchased it from RHEEM back in the mid-eighties. Many generations of workers found employment at Radi Industries, and for years after the Great War, Radi Industries was the protagonist of the first industrial boom in Italy. It was Serafino, Roberto’s grandfather, who invented and then established a state-of-the-art manufacturing plant. In 1926, Serafino designed and produced small space heaters and neon lamps. By 1933, his manufacturing plant churned out 1000 water-heaters per month. It was a different era, a time in which our society moved from artisan production to mass industrial manufacturing. Above all, it was the beginning of the era of consumer products. Serafino Radi intuitively understood the market trend and developed production of a product that was heretofore only a dream to most Italian families: the home water-heater. Willing to take a chance, following a hunch backed by his knowledge of engineering, Serafino struck gold. Robert Radi, Serafino’s grandson, looks to establish himself, in his own right, as innovator for the new Millenium. This innovation is manifested in Radi’s Styling & Design. And if “genetics” had a role in all this, we believe, after meeting him, that it’s also a matter of style, character, will power and intelligence for Robert. His simplicity, modesty, and ability to acknowledge his origins without negating his past, are certainly attributes that make Robert Radi a serious professional and a brilliant interpreter of talent and creativity. |

Robert Radi, an award-winning designer based in Beverly Hills, California, has reached a new career milestone today: 15 years of product design and development done right.
Radi still approaches every new Project with the same enthusiasm and ambition that set him apart fifteen years ago and landed him the first Product Design Account.
“I offer the constant striving to create a product that is best suited to the client, the market, and the consumer” says Radi “In order to do that, we try to understand the entire context for the design, from its place in a company’s brand strategy to its tooling in the factory to its future role in a consumer’s everyday life. By incorporating these elements into the design process, we are able to produce work that is relevant, intelligent, and, of course, aesthetically pleasing.”
Radi is best known for some of his most commercially successful designs-including Personal Microdermabrasion and Consumer Product projects — that have collectively generated more than $200 million in sales. Radi’s entire body of work demonstrates his attention to detail, his unique sense of styling, but also his ability to come up with humorous, original concepts for consumer products.
Radi grew up in Northern Italy, borne into a rich tradition of design and invention within his family lineage. He moved to the United States some 17 years ago and has gone on to achieve considerable acclaim, winning in excess of a dozen design awards in the last four years alone.
Radi has designed products for mass and limited production for companies such as Johnson & Johnson, Guthy-Renker, DermaNew, MeadWestvaco, Snapware, Mattel, Revlon, Apex Digital, Toyota, Neutrogena, Avery Dennison, Aroma Houseware, and Berkshire Hathaway (GINSU Brand) — to name a few.
In 2006 the creativity and design of Robert Radi, has been recognized in an editorial project by Fusion Publishing (Los Angeles - Stuttgart). The beautifully executed book celebrates the inspired work of 61 pioneering designers who represent the new American generation.
In 2005, Robert Radi launched his Limited Edition Eyewear line, still one of his ongoing pride and joy. He is currently working with several of his high-profile clients on products that will be released in 2009.
