We are a small independent studio, with a big and strong soul!

After working under the name of Flaco Studio for a year, we decided it would be time to pay homage to Italian roots and think of a name that no other studio would ever consider. Brutto.

Brutto means "ugly" in Italian and is perhaps the adjective we hear most during a day. Ugly is relative. It exists only because beauty exists, but it is relative. For us what is beautiful is bad and what is bad is beautiful.

  • CORE

    To redefine the concept of beauty by embracing the unconventional and transforming spaces into havens of quality and creativity, making sophisticated art and design accessible to all.

  • MISSION

    Our mission is to offer high-quality, well-designed products that elevate everyday spaces while maintaining affordability and inclusivity. We aim to make art and craftsmanship accessible to every home, combining excellence with financial sensibility. Through limited edition creations, we strive to bring beauty, inspiration, and a touch of the extraordinary into every corner of our customers' lives.

Our values

  • Our values

  • Bold

    We challenge conventional notions of beauty and embrace the "ugly" as a powerful expression of creativity. For us, what others might see as imperfections, we see as opportunities to create something truly unique and impactful. We take risks in our designs, always pushing the boundaries of what is considered beautiful.

  • Unique

    Our approach is one-of-a-kind, drawing from our Italian roots and a deep passion for design. Each product is unique, ensuring that what you bring into your space is not just an item but a piece of art with a story. Our uniqueness lies in our ability to transform the mundane into the extraordinary, offering designs that are as distinctive as the people who choose them.

  • Democratic

    We believe that art and quality design should not be reserved for the elite. Our commitment to affordability and inclusivity means we offer products that are accessible to all, regardless of budget. We are dedicated to providing well-crafted, beautifully designed items that everyone can enjoy, democratizing the world of art and design.
