2050+

2050+ is an interdisciplinary studio founded in Milan in 2020 by Ippolito Pestellini Laparelli, working across design, technology, the environment and politics. A former partner at OMA, he set up the agency to deploy space as a medium rather than a goal, and its architects, curators and researchers treat each project as a system of relations between data, materials, institutions and publics.

Work gathered on the studio’s site under the heading ‘before 2050+’ spans Scalo Farini in Milan, KANAL, the Museo Nacional del Prado, Repossi Store, KaDeWe in Vienna and Berlin, and scenography for Prada and Miu Miu shows. Research and teaching run alongside practice, notably Data Matter at the Royal College of Arts in London, a studio exploring the entangled relationship between data and the material world.
