Who we are

Mattia Parmiggiani Architects (MPA) is an architecture, interior design, exhibition design, and integrated communication studio based in Modena, operating at both national and international levels.

Mattia Parmiggiani graduated in 1995 in Florence with a design thesis developed in the United Kingdom, “Glasshouse and Climatic Wintergarden.” He has over twenty years of experience in architectural and interior design, working in complex and multidisciplinary contexts.

Since 2009, he has been a Chartered Architect at the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) in London, a qualification internationally recognized as a standard of professional excellence.

Research and experimentation are the pillars of the studio’s working methodology. The design activity focuses on the development of innovative concepts for public and private clients, including architecture, interior design, vision design, exhibition design, and corporate image systems. Each project is driven by the ambition to combine visible innovation, functional efficiency, and high technical performance.

MPA has completed projects in Italy and abroad, including Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and the Russian Federation.

Mattia Parmiggiani has served as Art Director for exhibition design activities for the Atlas Concorde Group, a global leader in the ceramic industry, and is a concept and research consultant for Kerakoll.

For several years, he has also been a consultant for Reggio Children, an Italian center of excellence in early childhood education with international recognition. He has been Art Director of the Play+ children’s furniture line and a consultant for research and educational institutions such as Politecnico di Milano and Domus Academy, as well as undertaking design commissions and masterplan studies for the American School of Milan.

Since 2007, MPA has operated in the Russian Federation through its own branch office. In this context, the studio has carried out numerous consultancy activities, including the restyling of the Italian Embassy in Moscow and construction management for the first Orthodox church built within the Russian Embassy in Rome.

The studio has won several international competitions, including the design of the new Coca-Cola Headquarters, the “WOW Office” in Moscow, and the new Bonduelle headquarters, a project awarded Best Green Design Office of the Year 2019. In 2023, the design of the Holyart Headquarters achieved the highest BREEAM certification, with an EXCELLENT sustainability rating.

MPA’s professional activity spans multiple scales of design: from urban planning to architecture, from the restoration and structural consolidation of historic buildings to detailed design, including interior design, exhibition design, corporate identity, and on-site construction management.

In 2025, MP Architects was selected for the Venice Biennale, Italian Pavilion, as part of the “Call for Vision and Projects” section.
