Atelier Oï
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 alike. It is about sharing values and ideals. The trio has
been linked for 30 years through the intangible bond of the
desire to grow and venture together on a journey that never
denies their individual paths. The alliance brings together
open and creative minds, sharing their visions.
The founders’ deep involvement with architecture, design
and naval construction, as well as the encounter with
charismatic personalities such as Alberto Sartoris and Ettore
Sottsass, have shaped atelier oï’s philosophy. It strives to go
beyond the confines of a single discipline.
At atelier oï, the idea of multidisciplinarity is epitomised by
the word “atelier”
, a place of creation, intellectual knowledge
and manual know-how. On an international scale its work
ranges from architecture and interior design to product
design and scenography.
