About

Roberto Sardone is an Italian enthusiastic designer and project manager with 10+ years of experience overseeing projects from dreams to reality. He is passionate about creating mesmerising experiences for events and exhibitions, retail windows and pop-up spaces, architecture and luxury interior design spaces. He enjoys to get to know client's needs to try to bring a smile and a personal touch in each of his project. His extensive experience in conceptual planning, fabrication, and problem solving has allowed him to develop a broad skillset and dynamic workflow, driven by the pursuit of excellence in design. Roberto was born and raised in the heyday of the so-called “Sofa Triangle” in Puglia, a region of southern Italy renowned for its furniture design and manufacture. It was here that he honed his skills for prototyping, handcrafting, and upholstering furniture, before moving to London in 2004 to study arts, design and fashion textiles. Roberto graduated from the London College of Fashion with honours in 2010. His combined interests in fine art, interior design, and architecture led him to Paul Cocksedge Studio in East London, where he gained valuable experience in architectural model making, product prototyping and art installations, as well as overseeing manufacturing for their e-commerce business.

In 2015, he joined PLP Architecture, where he had the privilege to work on various large-scale international projects such as the Montparnasse Tower competition, The Timber Wooden Tower, Shinagawa master plan, Milan Bonnet, Embassy Gardens, and the newly completed 22 Bishopsgate Tower. At PLP he gained extensive knowledge on how to use workshop machinery, laser machines and CNC, taking his obsessive attention to detail to the bare minimum of 0.2 mm allowance. While working under pressure, he learned how to work both independently and as part of a talented team on a range of high profile projects, demonstrating high levels of accuracy, boosting his 3D skills and improving knowledge of the 3D printing process. During his time at the firm, his strong work ethic attitude was rewarded with the promotion to Associate Partner.
