Pittorino Designs

Pittorino Designs is a sculpture and furniture studio based in Sydney. Working primarily with timber and concrete, Pittorino Designs has a passion for escaping the linear confines which dominate today’s living spaces and finding ways to create objects with subtlety and movement. Going beyond the latest concrete technologies, they have devised innovative techniques to manipulate concrete by hand for a variety of applications. Pittorino Designs uses sustainably harvested Australian hardwoods and recycled timbers. They utilise pozzolans to minimise the amount of Portland cement and employ precise calculations to minimise wastage. Pittorino Designs objects are timeless and durable and are intended to become family heirlooms for future generations. Robbi Pittorino is the creative force of Pittorino Designs. Robbi has been working as a sculptor and maker of furniture for more than two decades, across a range of media. His interest in concrete as a ‘liquid stone’ which can be sculpted informs his approach to both his artworks and functional applications.
