Vilicci Virtuoso - Design Business Index

Vilicci Virtuoso

Every component of the Virtuoso grill is milled from solid blocks of stainless steel and crafted using CNC milling machines. With the addition of the skewer rotisserie system this grill ticks all the boxes when it comes to functionality and striking appearance. The special hexagonal cone shape of the fire chamber and the strategically placed air vents ensure a perfect air circulation around the fire which will burn evenly and efficiently throughout the grilling.

Richard Solloshi

Founder of Solloshi Ltd., Richard Solloshi has been involved in architecture and interior design for 20 years, now with over 100 successful projects under his belt. 10 years ago, his passion brought him into the bicycle industry where hechannelled his visionary ideas into a next generation e-bike. He was the chief designer of several high-end electric bicycle projects and it was during this time that he gained extensive knowledge in the field of metalworking, with a special focus on high-tech, light, but strong materials such as 7075 aluminium alloy and titanium. Solloshi is dedicated to making ultra high-quality masterpieces out of high-end, 21st century materials, with a special focus on titanium. This high-tech material requires specialized skills in design and manufacturing. Despite the fact that this level of precision and design requires countless hours of engineering, almost all Solloshi creations are limited editions to preserve their unique nature – and absolutely all collections are limited, low quantity production. The choice of raw materials and manufacturing technology (CNC milling form single blocks of titanium) designates the potential target market without question. His aim is to create high-end, perfectly crafted, yet futuristic devices and accessories of impeccable taste for discerning women and men. Aside from fine watches, the choice of luxurious accessories for men in particular is quite limited. Therefore, I considered what a man like myself needs but rarely finds: Something that stands out from the crowd.

About DBI

The Design Business Index (DBI) is a merit-based rating system and professional directory founded to address one of the design industry’s biggest challenges: the difficulty of reliably assessing a designer’s true capabilities before a project begins. Through its partnership with the internationally recognized A’ Design Award, DBI combines a rigorous blind review process with transparent evaluation criteria to transform subjective design quality into objective credentials. By featuring only those who have demonstrated excellence under these stringent standards, DBI ensures a carefully curated pool of top talent, where clients can make confident, data-driven decisions about creative partnerships.

Beyond its directory, DBI offers a comprehensive DBI Credibility Suite™ designed to help designers and studios stand out in an overcrowded market. Each DBI-rated professional receives authoritative certificates, digital assets, and rating logos that validate their skills and attest to their proven creative excellence. These tools seamlessly integrate into websites, social media, and marketing materials—reinforcing trust, credibility, and, ultimately, market value. Notably, DBI ratings remain valid for a two-year period, encouraging ongoing professional development and highlighting those who continuously push the boundaries of innovation.

By systematically reducing guesswork and eliminating reliance on subjective portfolio reviews alone, the Design Business Index creates a more efficient, trustworthy, and merit-based environment for both clients and designers. With DBI, top talent rises above the noise, clients gain peace of mind, and the entire global design community benefits from higher standards of creativity, innovation, and professional excellence.

Design Business Index champions design excellence, valuing official recognition from respected international juries over mere popularity. Our criteria focus on transparent, rigorous evaluations by peers, assessing quality, ethics, and innovation. Notably, the prestigious A' Design Award highlights truly exceptional projects, judged by academics, press members, and professionals using a documented scoring system. We exclusively feature professionals and studios that have earned at least one peer-reviewed award, particularly the A' Design Award, ensuring that our listings represent meritocratic accomplishment, innovation, and credibility.
