Founded in 2017 by Adriana Granato, Studio Ibsen is a multidisciplinary design practice based in Milan, operating internationally across architecture, interior design, ship design and art direction.
Each project—regardless of scale or typology—is an opportunity to express a precise, site-sensitive vision. We favor what is appropriate, not merely what is new. Our work is rooted in a deep understanding of socio-cultural frameworks, and we believe every design should respond to its environment—historical, physical, and emotional.

Studio Ibsen has a long-standing engagement with natural materials and collaborates closely with artisan networks across Italy and beyond. These relationships—built on mutual trust, experimentation, and care—extend to suppliers, artists, and researchers, whose voices enrich our process. We see art not as an accessory to architecture, but as an integral, living force within it.

Research is a vital part of Studio Ibsen’s practice. Over the years, the studio has curated exhibitions, edited books, and collaborated on graphic design projects that explore the intersection of architecture, culture, and visual language. This research-driven approach stems from the academic background of founder Adriana Granato, who teaches at Politecnico di Milano and has taught and collaborated with institutions such as Politecnico di Torino, the Architectural Association in London, Bezalel Academy in Jerusalem, and FADA in Quito. These experiences continue to inform our design work, enriching it with critical thinking, cultural depth, and a strong editorial sensibility.
