Stéphanie Branco
Portugal (PT)
Stéphanie Branco is an architect since 2006 and her passion for craftsmanship emerged in 2010 when she made her first pair of shoes, entirely by hand, while working in Paris. Being the 4th generation of craftsman, her passion for craftsmanship runs in her blood. In 2011 she founded ASA Leather Work. In 2016 she came back to Portugal, her homeland, to study Footwear Design and work with as a Production Manager for national & international brands. Later, in a self-taught way, she started practicing the saddle stitch technique and made a wallet for a friend and bags for her. And she never stopped. A true passion was born and the therapeutic feeling of working with her hands was fantastic. She now strives to preserve the hand sew technique “Saddle Stitch”, which is about to disappear in Portugal. Her training in architecture gives her the natural ability to imagine and build her products, as well as attention to detail, maintaining the highest level of quality. She sews, cuts and assembles each piece of leather manually, inspired by the traditional techniques.
View ProfileBaldanzi & Novelli
Italy (IT)
Design rhymes with Italy! Adriano Baldanzi and Alessandro Novelli, born and bred in Tuscany, know this all too well! After graduating in Industrial Design at ISIA in Florence they embarked on a design adventure that has led them to be considered amongst the best Italian designers in the seating and office furniture sector, and not only. In fact, 30 years of experience have enabled them to develop a great design culture and a thorough understanding of the technology available and the real demands of the different markets, to the point that they are considered more partners than designers by the companies that choose them. This approach has always been in their DNA: their career took off after having founded and developed the company Casamania in the early eighties, which was later sold to Frezza, a prestigious Italian brand. They then devoted themselves to their true vocation: design. Their career encompasses some emblematic geographical milestones: working first in a small but very demanding Italy, then in Europe, they are now in demand all over the world. Their homeland is a source of constant inspiration and their international experiences offer constant enrichment.

United States of America (US)
As an expert UX designer, I view design and art as intertwined disciplines where form meets function.

Together, they enhance the human experience, blending aesthetics with practicality to create meaningful, engaging interactions.
