Niccolò Vigotti was born in Milan, engineer and entrepreneur, COO of Wood-Skin, recently founded MATEREA, a factory for non-standard fabrication and design based in Brianza, italy.

After graduating in structural civil engineering he studied fire engineering with a research grant at the Politecnico di Milano.
Niccolò is an expert in the management of complex and non-standard digital production processes thanks to the vast experience accumulated with WOOD-SKIN and in the numerous construction sites around the world. Among these, are the largest free-form wooden ceiling in the world made for room IX of the UN in Geneva, the Linkedin headquarters in Madrid, the Volkswagen Milan financial headquarters, and Maison Margela Milan.

The result of Niccolò’s work has been widely published in design magazines such as Domus, Azure, Wallpaper, Wired, popular mechanics, and sole 24 ore.

Thanks to the hybrid nature of his work as an engineer involved in highly automated and digital projects, Niccolò is today the fulcrum of the production processes of Wood-Skin and MATEREA where together with the R&D team he investigates the limits of the relationship between design and machines to imagine a more equitable and sustainable future.
