About

The work of architect and designer Alberto Biagetti and artist Laura Baldassari challenges the boundaries between disciplines. Biagetti and Baldassari draw their inspiration from the world around them, from human behaviour and contemporary society’s greatest obsessions.
They dissect and deconstruct the functionality of objects to then reconfigure codes that previously seemed permanently sedimented in society.

Their work aims to construct an immersive environment full of hints and clues in which the objects that inhabit the space become actors in a possible scene, questioning the space surrounding them and the habits related to it.

The objects become devices that suggest new ways of interacting with both physical and psychological space; they trigger short-circuits and undermine the dynamics associated with the collective memory.

Collaborations:

Atelier Biagetti’s include creations for Louis Vuitton, known for the Objets Nomades series, where art and functionality merge seamlessly to becoming pure experience; projects & experiences for Valextra, Adidas and MCM; and avant-garde designs with Gufram, Memphis Milano, and Venini.

Exhibitions:

The studio’s creations have been showcased in venues like the Triennale di Milano, Art Basel Design Miami, and galleries in global design capitals such as New York, Paris, Rome and Shanghai.

Alberto Biagetti

Alberto Biagetti is a Milan-based designer whose career is defined by relentless exploration and a cross-disciplinary approach to art, architecture, and design. He began his professional journey in 1995 at the Milanese architectural studio of Luca Scacchetti before working alongside Alessandro Guerriero, the founder of Studio Alchimia. Together, they established Radiosity Studio (1994-2003) and the Futurarium School in 1995, an experimental hub where students and professionals collaborated on groundbreaking projects across art, architecture, and design. In 2000, Biagetti took on the role of Creative Director at YOOX Group, a position he held until 2013. This experience enriched his vision and provided a platform for exploring the intersection of digital and physical realms. In 2003, he founded Atelier Biagetti to independently pursue interdisciplinary experimentation, blending art, design, architecture, and film. His projects frequently examine the evolving relationship between physical and virtual worlds, pushing the boundaries of contemporary design. Biagetti’s work is difficult to classify because it embodies constant reinvention, characterized by installations, objects, and imagery that prioritize significance and dignity beyond mere aesthetics. His creations challenge viewers to rethink the role of design in a world where meanings and cultural codes are continuously shifting.
