Architecture The work of Matteo Thun & Partners focuses on sustainability and environment, respecting the Genius Loci: an architecture combining long-lasting solutions, tradition and new technologies; an architecture saving resources, generating measurable economic results, while contributing to beauty.

Design Product design starts from simplification and reduction to essential, towards an iconic form. A constant search for sincere purity through a holistic approach: buildings need interiors, interiors need products, and products need designers, manufacturers and users. A design revealing less weight and more light; pure form and function.
