Leonardo Fortino

Leonardo Fortino is a product and interior designer born in Crotone in 1986. He trained with a painter and sculptor who shaped his passion for materials, then moved to Rome, graduating in industrial design from La Sapienza in 2009 and founding Spigoli Vivi, a studio for self-production and installations. In 2013 he established Leonardo Fortino Design, working on products and interiors for companies.

He moved to Milan in 2017, working with architecture studios and companies on art direction and product development. His method passes through perception and colour: he experiments, combines materials and experiences, then simplifies. His work has been shown at Salone del Mobile, Tent London and the CAFA Art Museum in Beijing, and since 2019 he has worked with Driade in its R&D team.
