L2 studio
The birth of the design studio
At the beginning of 2020, Luigi Brenna and Lorenzo Galvani, united by their involvement with Archinapsi, decided to combine their talents for collaborative projects, realizing that they complemented each other in terms of skills and artistic vision. In 2022, they made the joint decision to officially join forces as L2 Architecture & Design, while still embracing their individual identities.
The curriculum of the two architects
Influenced by the fascinating history and natural allure of Montefeltro, Lorenzo Galvani began his academic journey in 2000, enrolling in the Industrial Design Course at the Faculty of Architecture of La Sapienza University in Rome. Specializing in furniture and interior design, he honed his craft at Cà Belli luce s.a.s., mastering techniques of stone processing and lighting. This laid the foundation for his entry into interior design, where he made his mark in public spaces such as offices, shops, and private residences. In 2010, together with his architect brother, he co-founded Quadrastudio, aiming to place "tailored" design at the center of their work, where attention to detail and research led to recognition and appreciation among clients and peers.
Luigi Brenna's journey began with a degree in architecture from the Polytechnic University of Milan, followed by a Ph.D. in Industrial Design from the same institution. Since 2005, he has shared his expertise as a lecturer, guiding students through courses like Metaproject and Visual Elements. Brenna's professional path has been paved with internships at prestigious Milanese companies, where he gained valuable experiences in interior renovation, custom furniture design, and condominium facade restoration. As a co-founder of Archinapsi and the cultural association Urbanizer, he actively supports service design initiatives aimed at enriching urban life, constantly seeking fresh inspiration to innovate in various design disciplines. Brenna's passion for drawing and painting finds expression in his renowned series "Urban Portraits. Milan", captivating audiences in numerous exhibitions.

Designing is an act of trust
Designing, from the Latin pro‐jectare, is an act of trust in the future as its etymology refers to the action of "throwing forward" or into the future. This "throwing forward" is a beautiful concept to remember when we do our work. Therefore, by designing, we are nothing but presenting to the client the future of their living spaces.
