The guest of the 21st Moontalk is designer Martino Gamper, an internationally influential voice in contemporary design for many years, known for his practice at the intersection of craft, art, architecture, and industrial production.
Born in Merano, he lives and works between London and New Zealand, moving fluidly across disciplines. His work spans exhibition design, interior architecture, one-off pieces, and products for the international furniture industry. It ranges from window display concepts for Prada and flagship stores for Valextra to chairs for Rubelli and Dior, glass designs for Lobmeyr, as well as restaurant projects such as the interior of Norbert Niederkofler’s AlpiNN on Kronplatz.
In conversation with Kunigunde Weissenegger of franzLAB, Martino Gamper - who was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire in 2023 - will speak about his open, research-driven approach to the design process and his understanding of design as an active cultural practice that shapes and questions our everyday lives.
The talk will be held in German.

After completing an apprenticeship as a cabinetmaker in Merano, Martino Gamper first studied sculpture in Vienna under Michelangelo Pistoletto, as well as product design. Following his master’s degree at the Royal College of Art in London under Ron Arad, he founded his own studio in Hackney, London. He gained international recognition with projects such as 100 Chairs in 100 Days - an experimental exploration of the classic piece of furniture, the chair, and at the same time a critical reflection on throwaway culture.
