Studio Roberto Gerosa is a Milan-based practice led by architect and designer Roberto Gerosa, focused on historic house restoration, interior architecture, furniture design, and art direction. The studio is located in a converted lumber workshop in Milan’s Villapizzone district, which doubles as both Gerosa’s home and atelier. This setting reflects the organisation’s emphasis on adaptive reuse and personalized interiors.
Founded and run by Roberto Gerosa, who was born in Albenga and studied architecture in Florence, the studio traces its activity back to at least the 1980s, though Gerosa’s professional reputation surged through projects that combine restoration with bespoke design elements. Over decades, he has worked on homes for Milan’s artistic and aristocratic circles and approached each project with a focus on integrating antiques, upcycling vintage objects, and curating unique atmospheres. The practice also designs and fabricates custom furniture and lighting, often by hand and using reclaimed or unconventional materials such as brass, stone, and fiberglass.
Recent projects include the transformation of Gerosa’s own Milanese studio-home, filled with his own furniture and lighting designs, and the restoration of private residences that feature personalized made-to-measure elements. The studio frequently collaborates with artisans for bespoke finishes, including curtain hardware and upholstery details. Studio Roberto Gerosa remains small in scale, working with a network of collaborators and artisans, evidenced by the hands-on approach in both design and execution. The practice continues to blend restoration with design innovation, representing a distinctly individual approach rather than following prevailing trends.
