NICHETTO STUDIO

In 2006 Luca Nichetto founded a multidisciplinary design studio in Venice, Italy, which

specialised in industrial design, product design and design consultancy. From the very

beginning, this studio collaborated with a number of different brands and organisations,

quickly expanding its influence far beyond Venice and Italy's borders.

Five years later, in 2011, Nichetto opened a second studio in Stockholm, Sweden. This

practice was founded in response to an ever growing number of requests for collaborationfrom international companies, with the studio's work also broadening out from its initialfocus on designed objects.

Nichetto Studio has since expanded into areas such as interior design and architecture.

Today, Nichetto Studio works with a variety of brands and clients from all around the

worid, and its expertise is sought out across all design disciplines.

A deep passion for, and knowledge of, industrial and craft manufacturing processes runs

through every aspect of the studio's work. Nichetto Studio's projects abound in carefully

selected cultural references and a keen attention to detail. The practice’s unique position

within both Scandinavian and Italian design culture has given Nichetto Studio worldwide

recognition. Appreciation of its work extends far beyond the confines of the design

industry.
