After numerous experiences in the fields of bags and accessories design, visual arts, and interior design, and upon completing his Master's program, Sebastiano founded his studio in July 2023.

The studio is based in Milano and Lausanne and develops furniture, products, and lighting. The work ranges from home accessories to outdoor gear, with a strong focus on current production techniques, sometimes leading to redesigning manufacturing processes. His practice orbits around an interest for technical solutions and a constant pursuit of functionality that aims to bring utilitarianism and lightness into charming, refined objects.

He has collaborated with clients such as Samsung, HW-REGALE AG, Glas Italia, Schätti Leuchten, and the Shorefast Foundation. In 2020, he launched an experimental small business of custom outdoor gear, @sg_designworks, where he had the freedom to manufacture and sell tailor-fit bikepacking bags and trail backpacks.

With his diploma project, FrameCraft, he attracted the attention of the Vitra design team and was invited to give a speech at their headquarters in October 2023. The collaborative project "PYRE" was exhibited at Milano Design Week 2023, at "Metropolis" - Swissnex's 20th anniversary program in San Francisco and it was featured in "Transform! Designing the Future of Energy" exhibition at Vitra Design Museum and has received a dedicated article on Disegno Journal.

Born in 1998, Sebastiano Gallizia grew up in Milan, Italy. He first obtained a BS in Industrial Design at Politecnico di Milano and then completed an MA in Product Design at ECAL, Lausanne in 2023.

Working between Lausanne and Milano, he's currently conducting freelancer work and he is Teaching Assistant at ECAL. He is featured on different design publications and his work was exhibited in international venues including Vitra Design Museum, Swissnex SF and Milano Design Week.
