Marc Sadler

“Inspiration is a result of observation and reasoning.”

French born in Austria, Marc Sadler currently lives in Milan. Experimentation with plastics, the main theme of his studies and great personal curiosity, has always had a prominent place in his activity as a designer.
At the beginning of the 70s he developed the first fully recyclable thermoplastic ski boot, then industrialized by the Italian Caber (later Lotto), of which he quickly conquered the responsibility of all product lines, establishing a long and fruitful collaboration marked by the patent of the symmetrical hull boot, which remained the best-selling in the world for several years.
This is the origin of his specialization in sports design that leads him to work with the most important multinationals in the USA, Asia, Japan and Europe, both in sports shoes and in many other sports sectors: skiing, tennis rackets, golf clubs, etc. The origin from a branch of industry where the research and experimentation of new materials and production processes is more widespread, allows him to export knowledge in sectors where the concept of design limited to aesthetic form is rooted.
