Stefano Panterotto (born in Italy in 1988) and Alexis Tourron (born in France in 1991) met while studying at the 'École cantonale d'art de Lausanne' (ECAL) – a university of art and design – where they both graduated with a Master of Advanced Studies in Design for Luxury and Craftsmanship in 2015.

In 2016 they founded their own design and consultancy studio Panter&Tourron in Lausanne, where the duo develops products and visual experiences at the intersection of design, technology and society. Driven by material investigation and technical innovation, they challenge the contemporary codes of objects and images. They have been collaborating with Vitra since 2023.
