Based in Berlin, Mirko Ihrig and Casey Lewis run LOTTO, a design studio working between industrial design, interiors and spatial artifacts.
Through a process rooted in reference, narrative and recontextualization, the studio reinterprets familiar materials and construction methods, shifting them into new contexts. Alongside selected collaborations with brands such as Marsèll, Camper and U-Joints, LOTTO pursues self-initiated works grounded in research and material experimentation. The studio’s projects have been exhibited at Alcova and Drop City in Milan, Forma Gallery in Berlin, and 3 Days of Design in Copenhagen.
These projects often occupy a space between object and architecture. Drawing on the studio’s combined backgrounds in industrial and spatial design, LOTTO approaches objects as tools that support gesture, use and the presence of the body through structure and material.
