atelier oï was founded in 1991 in La Neuveville, Switzerland, by Aurel Aebi, Armand Louis and Patrick Reymond. The name oï, derived from the Russian word “troïka”, a team of three, conveys the dynamism and holistic energy generated by a trio. atelier oï is the result of an alliance rooted in humanity and art. It’s about sharing values and ideals. The trio has been connected for 30 years by the intangible bond of the desire to grow and venture together on a journey that, however, never prevents them from taking their own paths. The alliance brings together open and creative minds, sharing their visions.
The deep-rooted involvement of the founders with architecture, design and shipbuilding, as well as contacts with charismatic personalities such as Alberto Sartoris and Ettore Sottsass, have shaped the philosophy of atelier oï . They strive to go beyond the boundaries of a single discipline. At atelier oï, the idea of multidisciplinarity is summed in the word “atelier”, a place of creation, intellectual knowledge and manual know-how. On an international scale, their work ranges from architecture and interior design to product and set design.
