Studio Œ is a Berlin-based design studio founded by Lisa Ertel (*1990) and Anne-Sophie Oberkrome (*1990). Both product designers graduated from the University of Arts and Design in Karlsruhe. Their practice ranges from self-initiated works to multidisciplinary collective projects and industrial design commissioned by international companies.

Guided by a fascination for the diverse skills of materials and phenomena observed in everyday life, the duo creates works that tell uncommon stories about the spatial and social context in which their projects move. Anne-Sophie and Lisa are co-founders of the collective FAN. Since 2022, they teach design at HFBK Hamburg.

Udine-based Mattiazzi stands apart from its competitors. While many furniture manufacturers rely on third party factories, Mattiazzi operates its own machines using its own skilled craftsmen. The company has been working in this honest way since 1978, when it was founded by brothers Nevio and Fabiano Mattiazzi. Along the way the company has built up a network of workshops that can support its extensive product range. Every Mattiazzi workshop has its own focus – from milling to lacquering – and a particular process always belongs to a specific part of town.

Their highly specialised craftsmen operate the most advanced machinery available to the wood industry, disproving the modern myth that mechanised manufacturing is not a craft.
This localised, and exceptionally professional, approach has allowed it to produce a collection of items that are second-to-none in terms of both quality and style.
