The designer

Laetitia de Allegri and Matteo Fogale is a design studio based in London. Laetitia grew up in Switzerland and graduated in Industrial design from ECAL 'Ecole Cantonale d'Art de Lausanne'. Matteo was born in Uruguay and moved to Italy where he graduated in Industrial design at IUAV Facolta' di Design e Arti in Venice. They both met in London where for several years worked as designers for internationally acclaimed studios before joining forces to found their own studio and workshop.   They are lead by a design approach that considers honest, premium and un-conventional materials as well as functionality and longevity of the products. Laetitia and Matteo's work celebrates the combination of industrial process and fine craftsmanship, finding inspiration in nature as well as day-to-day environments. They work across disciplines and industries on a variety of projects from industrial products, bespoke commissions, interiors and installations combining deep understanding of materials and making techniques as well as patterns, textures and colours.
