Marco Campardo

Marco Campardo is a London-based, process-driven designer motivated by a curiosity to understand the world through making. His practice, founded in London in 2020, moves between production, research and teaching within a praxis–theory framework, and dedicates much of its time to experimenting with diverse materials and production techniques.

He treats material exploration as a form of critical practice, investigating broader narratives around culture, materiality and authenticity, and asking what makes a design or a material genuine. His output ranges from collectible furniture for Galerie kreo — Jello, Elle, Lee, George, Boro — to industrial pieces; he won the Ralph Saltzman Prize at the Design Museum in 2023 and was named among Apple and Design Miami’s Designers of Tomorrow in 2025.
