Matteo Thun & Partners is an architecture and design studio headquartered in Milan, Italy, with a subsidiary in Munich. Founded in 2001 by architect Matteo Thun—already established as a significant figure in contemporary design—the organisation employs a multidisciplinary team of about 70 architects, interior designers, product designers, and graphic designers. The studio is led by Thun alongside five partners, including Antonio Rodriguez and Benedetto Fasciana.
The organisation operates internationally and handles projects in hospitality, healthcare, residential, office, and retail sectors as well as product design. Signature works include hotels such as the Side Hotel in Hamburg and the Vigilius Mountain Resort in South Tyrol. The studio has also been involved in projects like the Bellavista Family Hotel in Italy, Coca-Cola's Zurich headquarters, and the Biomass Power Plant in Germany.
Matteo Thun & Partners is known for its approach that combines respect for local context—genius loci—with an emphasis on sustainability, ecological awareness, and the reuse of existing structures. The studio avoids generic solutions, instead creating site-specific projects that often highlight local materials and craftsmanship.
Current projects demonstrate the firm's range, such as collaborations with industrial partners for surface and material collections, and the design of entire hospitality concepts, from architecture to interiors and lighting. The firm’s work is grounded in “timeless simplicity" and the creation of long-lasting, functional spaces and objects.
