Based in Lugano and Milan, ITCH was founded in 2013 by Giulia Castelli, Marco Corazza and Alessandro Mingolo. ‘We believe that our work can only be understood as a form of “speech” where, on one hand, we find the solution to a specific problem and on the other hand we make an effort to contemplate more general issues,’ says Corazza. Inspired by the art of Sol Le Witt, Donald Judd, and their contemporaries, they look to innovate artistic gesture through architecture and design, while creating a completely new aesthetic that breaks with the past.
