Maddalena and Manuel – “Together, we focus on inspirations and research, elaborating a contamination between different expressive languages, respecting the context, attitudes, and contemporary demands. We rework external inputs to transform them, through careful strategic investigation, into new products, new real or surreal images, new compositional and communicative visions, always in line with an ever-evolving scenario.”

boattomartino studio is comprised of Maddalena Boatto, an architect, and Manuel Martino, a product designer.

After graduating in architecture from the Polytechnic University of Milan, Maddalena moved to Madrid and began collaborating with the international studio Nieto y Sobejano, where she shaped her aesthetic taste, style, and rigorous attention to detail. Upon returning to Italy, she embarked on her professional experience with Lombardini22 – a reality with which she collaborated for many years – allowing her to further specialize and acquire specific training in the field of retail, hospitality, and luxury residences.

After graduating from the European Institute of Design in Milan, Manuel began his professional collaboration with Carlo Colombo. Within the context of the studio of the Brianza-based architect and designer, he gained extensive and consolidated experience and specific expertise: here he developed his critical sense, his capacity for observation, and the creation of new conceptual canons, interfacing daily and working projectively with the main Italian furniture and design companies.

From the intertwining of their professional paths and the union of their personal attitudes, in 2016 Maddalena and Manuel founded boattomartino studio in Milan, a reality where they gained solid experience in artistic direction and the design of furniture collections for various companies in the sector.
