Diego Fortunato

Over the last thirty years, Diego Fortunato has developed an international reputation for his conceptual art and for his wide-ranging industrial designs, which have been manufactured by many of the world’s leading brands.

He founded his first design studio in 1995 in Barcelona, and his London design studio followed in 2011. The Argentinian-born designer’s lighting, street furniture, rugs, upholstering, and limited-edition objects reside between industrial design, sculpture and conceptual art. Deceptively simple, yet meticulously detailed, they show his constant search for formulae rather than merely shapes. He wants us to feel a story behind his work and sometimes his sense of humor and fantasy.

An accomplished designer, Diego has created long-lasting products for the market. His timeless designs have become best-sellers over the years.

Thanks

This website is dedicated to all those people who, in one way or another, have helped this project/dream/desire to begin and take shape.

Special thanks to my wife and my parents for supporting me, to Cristina Escarrà and Alfonso Pérez Rosales for generously sharing with me their experience as agents, to those clients who, in one way or another, have given me wise advice, to the brands that have placed their trust in me, and to Gonzalo, my godfather, who, with his always generous help, and guiding me throughout this process, is largely to blame for the fact that I can boast of being an “entrepreneur”.

Thanks also to Nuria, Rafa and Guillermo, who, to help me in the hard beginnings of any entrepreneurial activity, have opened the doors of their home, let me share with them a bit of their personal lives when I pass through their cities of residence, and give me free accommodation.

Thanks to all!
