Design based on experience
Tim Storti is the founder and managing director of STUDIO STORTI. As a “German-Italian,” he is always seeking the perfect, balanced synthesis between aesthetic appeal, functional perfection, and the most successful strategy.
After earning his degree in Industrial Design from the University of Applied Sciences Pforzheim and several years as a designer at Phoenix Design in Stuttgart, he co-founded the design agency PEARL CREATIVE in 2000. As a co-owner, he successfully worked with well-known brands such as BRITA, KÄRCHER, BOSCH, FESTO, SIEMENS, and WMF for many years.
“Our goal is to recognize people’s needs and create solutions through intelligent concepts that sustainably improve their lives and work.”

Successful Collaborations
The repositioning of the traditional brand ZYLISS began with the development of a completely new brand and design strategy. The first product concepts were developed by STUDIO STORTI in 2022 to market readiness and successfully presented at Ambiente 2023. This paved the way for us as the lead design studio and design consultant to undertake a complete overhaul of the ZYLISS product range.
In an agile development process, more than 50 new designs for the main products have been created, defining the new brand experience with a unified design and impressing with strong market resonance.
“A remarkable strategic achievement – and a huge design step for the Zyliss brand…”

Since 2012, PEARL CREATIVE has significantly shaped the BRITA product world as the lead product design partner. Over 160 design projects, the development of new, brand-defining products, and the definition of a unique design DNA for both B2B and B2C are among the highlights.
Starting in 2022, STUDIO STORTI continued the collaboration with a fresh focus and in close coordination with BRITA Design Management.
“You have earned an excellent reputation with us over the past years through reliability, strong execution, great visions, your product designs, and your high level of commitment.”

Since 2008, our close collaboration with BLANCO PROFESSIONAL – rebranded as B.PRO – has been a central part of our work.

Our developments focus on the demanding B2B food service sector.
Since 2022, STUDIO STORTI has continued the successful, strategic partnership.

Close to the user, we design lifestyle products for table-top and to-go use, addressing a wide range of target groups, from kids to luxury. Since 2006, PEARL CREATIVE has significantly influenced ALFI’s product world. What began as a partnership has evolved over 18 years into a leading role: Today, most of ALFI’s products come from our design studio.
Since 2022, STUDIO STORTI has additionally supported Alfi with design management to strategically further develop the ALFI and THERMOS brands.
“Fantastic how you not only create great designs for us but also think along and support us strategically!”

Between 2001 and 2022, PEARL CREATIVE developed more than 160 projects as the design partner of KÄRCHER for cleaning devices in both the professional and consumer sectors.
A particularly defining moment: the joint creation of the iconic product category of window vacuums – with the Window Washer as the leading global solution for smart window cleaning and the most successful product in KÄRCHER’s history.
In the field of professional cleaning equipment B2B, we have launched many iconic and highly successful design developments through close, trusted collaboration with the in-house design department.
