Press & Awards
Sergio Mannino Studio
Publications often reveal connections that individual projects cannot. Viewed together, these articles, interviews, reviews, books, and awards trace a set of recurring questions running through the studio's work: how identity takes form, how commerce influences culture, and how people relate to the spaces, objects, and rituals that surround them.
