ZATO was founded by Stefan Liniger and Irma Radoncic in 2023, a partnership grown during their time at the Federal Institution of Technology in Zürich.

Together they form their Zürich-based studio today. The studio’s work builds on by its extensive research into the possibilities of technology, materials and making processes.

They create across various media to challenge the perception of materiality, body, and space, with the ambition to connect to people and place. Testing the properties of colour, light and material to their limits is often a tool to pique curiosity.
