boattiverga studio was founded in 2010 by Manuela Verga and Paolo Boatti after a collaboration with Marcio Kogan, a world-famous Brazilian architect. During this first project, Prostheses and Innesti, presented at the London Design Festival and still on exhibition at the Gallery Fumi in London and Porto Cervo, the architects Boatti – Verga singled out what would become the philosophy behind all their works. The main idea is ‘recycling’: old handmade and industrial objects restyled through the reinterpretation of their specific function. The hybridisation between restyled objects and new materials, the contamination of their traditional usage with a new, contemporary perspective, and clean, sharp shapes are the keystone of all boattiverga projects.
