OUR STORY

Founded by Ross Lovegrove and Ila Colombo, DEOND is a synergistic partnership that combines cutting-edge expertise and creative foresight.

Our team is dedicated to crafting environments that are not only functional and beautiful, but also sustainable and responsibly tech-driven.

From advanced additive manufacturing

and smart mobility solutions, to interactive installations and architectural facades, we continuously push the boundaries of what design can achieve for future habitability.

OUR VALUES

At the heart of our practice lies a relentless pursuit of innovation. We believe in breaking boundaries and constantly challenging the familiar and known. Our commitment to innovation isn’t just about using the latest technology; it’s about thinking differently and finding novel solutions to complex problems.
