Diego Fortunato

Argentine-born, Barcelona-based industrial designer Diego Fortunato (b. 1960) is celebrated for bringing atmospheric organic curves, tactile materiality, and sculptural poise to contemporary architectural lighting. Operating his multidisciplinary studio across Barcelona and London, Fortunato focuses on objects that establish an emotional connection with users. Fortunato achieved worldwide design acclaim through his enduring partnership with Spanish lighting brand Vibia. His defining triumph is the Mayfair lamp collection—an innovative reimagining of traditional 18th-century bouillotte lamps using sleek conical shades and LED optics—alongside the monolithic Jazz floor light. His portfolio balances hand-blown glass, stone, and cast resin in organic, flowing silhouettes.
