Matteo Fogale

Born in Uruguay to an Italian family, Fogale was raised in a vibrant environment that melded European influences with local South American arts and crafts. After moving to Italy in 2001, Fogale studied at the Art School Leonardo da Vinci and IUAV University of Venice.

In 2015, a collection that he'd launched in collaboration with Laetitia de Allegri was awarded a Wallpaper Design Award. Now based in London, his work blends the generous forms and honest materials of Brazilian design with the more rigorous principles that underscore Scandinavian design.
