Claudio Zorzi was born in Meolo, Venice in 1968. He was raised within an artisan family of carpenters where year after year his exposure to the craft manifested into adoration for timber and its form.
By the end of the 80’s Claudio had already become a pioneer of the joinery industry in Italy and the world. He is inspired by an avant-garde vision that draws from the classic tradition of his heritage to the technical solutions of modernity and functionality, at times brilliantly. His innovations often pursued and copied.
Claudio Zorzi designed and exclusively produced, being the first baroque-style metal profiles to be introduced into the market, where today they have been copied due to their beauty.
Between 2009-2018, Claudio Zorzi designed projects with a selection of metals choosing only to use the most noble materials like Architectural Bronze, copper, aluminum and steel.
In 2019 Claudio started a new adventure. He established the brand, JOYwindowSystems, with a new series of innovative and futuristic products, unavailable on the market. He created a new look, still using the noble materials of wood, Architectural Bronze, copper, steel, corten steel and aluminum. He would create unique works of art, utilizing all these beautiful materials together where the projects permitted.
Claudio’s 30 years of experience and an exclusive patented range of unique systems he continues to beautify and enhance residences and buildings around the world, satisfying both his clients and architects.
