Elena Pelosi Studio is a research-driven design practice that creates solutions through interiors, art direction, design and communication.
Manifesto
Matter does not forget.
It holds what the eye lets go: a trace of scent, the weight of a gesture, a residual vibration.
In a time shaped by screens and algorithms, matter remains our most reliable medium.
We design interiors, objects, spaces.
We work through function until it disappears,
allowing atmosphere, rhythm and presence to surface.
Our process is fast, direct, resolute.
Slowness is a cultural position, not a working method.
We gather fragments — materials, memories, everyday gestures.
We place them in dialogue, let them collide, until form shifts meaning
and space becomes experience.
We believe in contamination as a natural gesture
Each object is an emotional architecture.
Each interior, a presence — not a decoration.
We design places and objects
where people feel good.

Roots, not nostalgia.
Our work is grounded in craftsmanship as a form of knowledge, and in local culture as a living heritage — not something to replicate, but to reinterpret.
We believe in slow processes, imperfect matter, and inherited gestures, translated through a contemporary and international lens.
Each project begins with listening: to place, to people, to the memory embedded in materials.
From this dialogue emerge spaces, objects and narratives designed to endure.

The International Design Team
An international design team operating between Milan, the United States and the UAE.
Led by Elena Pelosi, the studio combines Italian craftsmanship with a global outlook, working with designers and collaborators from Italy, India and the Middle East.
Our expertise spans interior design, art direction, product design, architecture and communication, allowing us to approach each project as a cohesive system rather than a collection of parts.
We work through a collaborative model, relying on a trusted network of skilled craftsmen, artisans, contractors and builders, alongside engineers and specialist consultants when required. Advanced 3D visualization supports the process, ensuring clarity, speed and precision at every stage.

Art collaborations
“Daily art interactions uplift our lives. Incorporate handcrafted ceramics and sculptural furniture for a seamless blend of form and function.”
Elena Pelosi’s artistic vision thrives on collaboration. Through partnerships with fellow artists and creative minds, she develops immersive installations and dynamic projects that challenge conventional perspectives. These collaborations transform spaces into meaningful experiences, where ceramics interweave with various artistic mediums. Each project emerges from a shared creative dialogue, bringing fresh interpretations to traditional craft and contemporary art. By merging different artistic languages, Elena’s collaborative works reveal unexpected narratives and deeper cultural connections.

The Founder
Elena Pelosi , after 10 years as a creative consultant and another 12 years as Creative Director at Matteo Thun & Partners, an international architecture and design studio with headquarters in Milan (Shanghai) and Monaco, founded her own research-based studio.
Elena Pelosi combines her background in Art History, Restoration, Architecture and multimedia to create interdisciplinary works. Her ceramic pieces harness natural materials and alchemical transformations, exploring themes of regeneration and change. Her practice is enriched by global research, cultural immersion, and diverse projects spanning residential design to artistic collections. Her works appear in exhibitions and private collections.
