The Studios

Founder & Creative Director

Dom Lo Studios is a multidisciplinary design studio inspired by the Principal’s Sicilian-Italian heritage and the Creative Partner’s Colombian culture.

 

[DOM]: Domestic Goods & [LO]: Lodato, which translates from Italian to English as lauded. Together, the duo 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. 

 

The studios consist of a Furniture Design Studio that breaks with convention and challenges the common notions of practicality, an Interior Design Studio specializing in minimalism, and an Art and Collaboration Studio that explores working together with other creatives and artists to bring one-of-a-kind products.​

​

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 Director & Business Operations Manager

Our Design Director has a long history of product and graphic design. Starting with creating objects and products that weren't common in their hometown, this love for product design was the jumping-off point that ultimately led in the direction of designing and hand-crafting quality, tangible products for Dom Lo Studios. Our Design Director is deeply committed to managing international business operations and quality control. They are actively involved in enforcing the highest standards for our pieces, ensuring continuous enhancement of both our product quality and day-to-day business operations.

"Design is the preservation of beauty through history"

 - D. Lodato

ROME WASN'T BUILT IN A DAY,

NOR WAS IT BUILT ALONE.

We are grateful to our friends and artists that we have continuous relationships with. We want to always support each other and in an effort to do that we have provided their information below where you can view their other works, aside from their collaborations with us.
