he opened his own studio in Milan and
became the Art Director of Swatch from
1990 to 1993. An encounter with Luca
Colombo and Antonio Rodriguez led to the
establishment of Matteo Thun & Partners
in 2001, which was later organized
into the companies MTLC, MTD-R and
MTD-R China. These different creative
entities develop projects in the fields of
architecture, interior design and product

sixty professionals, including architects,
