I’m Indalecio Sabbioni, Designer with over 30 years of experience, from Saladillo, Buenos Aires, Argentina. My journey in design began at Technical School, and I later graduated from FADU, UBA (Buenos Aires University) as an Industrial Designer.

From a young age, I was passionate about creating and observing. This led me to join Cicaré S.A., a light helicopter company, at the age of 14. Over the decades, I played a crucial role in the design and development of several innovative helicopter projects, including the Cicaré CH-14, and the brand's flagship product, the certified and awarded Cicaré 8.
I worked closely with the founder and engineering team to develop solutions and designs.

I also run my own design studio, Sentidos Design, where I focus on industrial and graphic design. Our portfolio includes a diverse range of projects, from the helicopters, virtual reality simulators and UV disinfection robots, to vehicle graphics and brand identity designs.

Also for years I´ve been working on my own endeavor, Roden, dedicated to innovative bicycle design. I´m creating unique and practical bicycle solutions, releasing them as Open Source to ensure they are accessible and impactful. Our flagship product, the Duetta, is a compact tandem bike designed for versatility and inclusivity. It’s available for free download, promoting widespread adoption and customization.
I believe in the power of collaboration to solve everyday problems and create efficient, accessible solutions. 

My goal is to improve transportation through simple, intuitive designs. This philosophy extends to all my work.
Throughout my career, I've been recognized with 2 “Premio Innovar” Awards and 5 Argentine “Sello de Buen Diseño” Seals. 

I am always eager to share ideas and collaborate with others. If you have a project or simply want to discuss how we can work together, please feel free to reach out. Let’s connect and make a positive impact through design.
Visit my website to learn more about my work and contact me for further information. I look forward to hearing from you and exploring new opportunities together!
