Atelier LAVIT

Marco Lavit founded his architecture and design practice, Atelier LAVIT, in Paris in 2014 and active in France and Italy.

His design sensibility germinated in the studio of architect and designer Riccardo Blumer. His time at LAN Architecture further strengthened his architectural orientation, with a strong emphasis on design culture and attention to detail.

Atelier LAVIT's work is rooted in dialogue with craftsmen and their know-how, particularly Made in Italy. Architecture and design often proceed in parallel, striving to achieve essential forms. Thus, the pieces produced do not follow trends, but rather let the strength of the raw materials speak for the designs themselves. In architecture, the studio has a preference for the use of wood, often applied to innovative housing structures in France, Italy and Spain.
