Designer

Borgonovo + Valsecchi is an Italian design duo formed by Massimo Borgonovo and Simone Valsecchi, both born and raised in Brianza. They studied Industrial Design at the Politecnico di Milano and continued their professional training through collaborations with established architecture and design studios, including Rodolfo Dordoni Architetti and Studio Viganò. Their early experience included interior design, retail projects, and furniture development for leading Italian companies.

In 2024, Borgonovo and Valsecchi brought their experience together under FOG Borgonovo + Valsecchi, a multidisciplinary design project focused on research, storytelling, and the poetic aspects of design. Their approach combines rational thinking and knowledge of industrial production with an appreciation for craftsmanship, materials, and emotional expression. They have also worked as ghost designers for major Italian fashion brands and developed furniture projects for companies including Cantori and Tonin Casa.
