La Piega

La Piega – A Fusion of Industrial Design and Artisanal Craftsmanship
Enrico Girotti, an industrial designer with a passion for craftsmanship, embodies the essence of a maker, blending technical expertise with artistic exploration. A graduate in Industrial Design from IUAV in Venice, Girotti bridges the gap between creative vision and production processes, crafting objects that explore the relationship between function and form in a distinctly analog way.
Design Philosophy
Girotti’s work moves seamlessly between industrial and artisanal design, creating pieces that reveal hidden connections among concepts, contexts, and people. His integrated approach ensures that every detail is intentional, resulting in objects that balance innovation with meaning.
lapiegaWD: A Dynamic Design Initiative
In 2017, Girotti founded lapiegaWD, a forward-thinking design initiative that reflects his ongoing exploration of materials, processes, forms, and relationships. This platform serves as a space for direct and unfiltered creativity, continuously evolving to merge industrial precision with artisanal craftsmanship.
Edizioni Enrico Girotti
Building on his legacy, Girotti launched EDIZIONI ENRICO GIROTTI in 2023, a project dedicated to hands-on experimentation. This initiative produces:

• Small series and numbered one-of-a-kind pieces
• Highly customized lapiega products
• Pre-series items that embody Girotti’s innovative and artisanal vision

Each piece reflects his meticulous attention to detail and his commitment to pushing the boundaries of design and craftsmanship.
