Lorenzo Silvestri

Product Designer

Product Designer. Born in 1998, he pursued a Master’s Degree in Integrated Product Design at Politecnico di Milano, followed by an international experience at Elisava University in Barcelona. He obtained his Master’s Degree in 2023 with a thesis developed at Polifactory through the Talents in Residence program, titled “Terraforma – Material investigation on the possibilities to combine natural growth of mycelium and unfired clay for novel sustainable product design applications.”

He believes that for a mature design practice to create a positive ethical and social impact, it should foster a deep connection and dialogue between people and artifacts.

Since February 2023, he has been a collaborator at Polifactory, primarily focusing on research projects related to digital fabrication, circular transition, and digital transformation of food systems.
