CASE STUDY 002: CROMIA BY LA.I.PE

As a designer for La.i.pe—the manufacturing powerhouse behind Vivienne Westwood and Valextra—I led the end-to-end prototyping of custom hardware and structural silhouettes. This project required precise translation from 2D ideation to 3D mechanical CADs, ensuring the final product met the rigorous standards of high-end Italian craftsmanship
