Atelier Oï

atelier oï was founded in 1991 in La Neuveville, Switzerland, by Aurel Aebi, Armand Louis and Patrick Reymond. The name comes from the Russian troïka, a team of three, and the trio still works from its base on the Route de Bienne.

The practice refuses a single discipline: architecture and interiors sit alongside product design, lighting and scenography, with projects such as the Spiral Lamp and Belt Chair for Louis Vuitton Objets Nomades, Reel for B&B Italia, Sinua for Danese/Artemide, watches for Louis Erard and Parmigiani Fleurier, furniture for NEUTRA and a pop-up store for Pringle of Scotland. Early involvement with architecture, design and naval construction, and encounters with Alberto Sartoris and Ettore Sottsass, shaped a transdisciplinary method the studio calls a po-ethic vision of creativity.
