Stefano Panterotto (Italy, 1988) and Alexis Tourron (France, 1991) met while studying at ECAL – the École cantonale d’art de Lausanne – a renowned university of art and design where both graduated in 2015 with a Master’s degree in Advanced Studies in Luxury Design and Craftsmanship.

In 2016, they founded Panter&Tourron in Lausanne, a studio where they develop products and visual experiences at the intersection of design, technology, and society.

Their approach is rooted in material research and technical innovation, challenging the conventional codes of the objects and images that surround us. With a bold and experimental outlook, they aim to rethink the relationship between the visual and the functional, opening up new possibilities in contemporary design. In 2023, they began collaborating with Vitra, bringing their unique vision and exploring how design can evolve in tune with today’s social and technological transformations.
