Gabriele Chiave spent his formative years moving from Dakar (four years), Caracas (five years), Buenos Aires (two years), and Rome (three years), giving him a multicultural perspective before even finishing high school.

In 2007 he landed in Amsterdam where he landed the covetable gig of being Creative Director at Marcel Wanders Studio overseeing all projects in product and interior design, and art direction for a number of premium design brands
