The Studios

Founder & Creative Director

Dom Lo Studios is a multidisciplinary design studio inspired by the Principal’s Sicilian-Italian heritage.

​

Teetering between the Mediterranean and Northern Africa, Dom Lo Studios continues to explore inspiration from both the physical and philosophical world. This venture has led them around the globe, landing them in the presence of Artisans from Colombia. The skilled woodworking we were presented with gave rise to Dom Lo’s never-ending thirst for bringing unusual, beautiful craftsmanship further into the home. 

 

Dom: Domestic Goods, and Lo: Lodato, which translates from the Italian to the English as lauded. Together, Dom Lo produces highly admired or praised domestic goods that are fully handcrafted. Each piece is a case study through historical research that dictates the entire design process. 

 

All of our furniture designs come from some era in our History, whether inspired by antiques, ancient furnishings, or simply by the country itself. Each piece is versatile in any design genre. We aim for our products to be used in every traditional to transitional space, or any modern to contemporary space. We are able to achieve this level of versatility by using a minimalist approach. We found that when you design with history in mind, you must be less literal and significantly more conceptual. 

 

Dom Lo Studios breaks with convention and challenges the common notions of practicality.​​​​ 

As a native New Yorker, our Founder has had a lifelong involvement in design, from altering their surroundings from a young age to designing and building skateboard ramps and obstacles. This exploration of the built environment and objects continued into crafting decks and benches for family homes and eventually into creating high-end spaces and furnishings that transcend the norm and transport us through history. Our founder is actively involved in overseeing domestic business operations and ensuring that Dom Lo Studios' designs remain true to the brand's original vision. From strategic direction to creative oversight, they are dedicated to upholding the integrity of the brand in every aspect of its day-to-day operations.

"Design is the preservation of beauty through history"

 - D. Lodato

ROME WASN'T BUILT IN A DAY,

NOR WAS IT BUILT ALONE.
