Architect & Friends

Architect & Friends is a design studio based in Grado, Italy, founded in 2008 by architect Michael Atzenhofer and interior designer Johanna Atzenhofer. After meeting in Vienna, the two founders moved to Italy in 2004, where they deepened their interest in local craftsmanship, material culture, and the relationship between design and context. Rooted in this sensitivity to detail and to a design approach closely connected to place, their collaboration with Potocco began this year. It developed naturally from a special custom project created together, immediately revealing a strong affinity in creative vision and a shared pursuit of tailor-made solutions.
