M2 Atelier
m2atelier is an architecture, interior and yacht design studio based in Milan, founded by the dynamic duo Marco Bonelli and Marijana Radovic. Born from the fusion of the two founders' previous experiences, the atelier brings together complementary expertises, diverse perspectives and multidisciplinary ideas.
Their extensive research spans various scales and contexts, including residential, fashion retail, hospitality, and product design, with a particular affinity and predilection for yachting and high-end design projects. Over the past 20 years, m2atelier has forged long-term collaborative partnerships with prestigious brands and renowned shipyards, that include an extensive range of naval projects from 30m to 90m motor and sailing yachts, delivered and in construction, as well as, sartorial crafted catamarans.
The studio's name is inspired by the freedom to experiment that characterizes the ateliers of artists and great tailors. As in this tradition, m2atelier's workspace is a creative workshop where established rules are continually challenged. m2atelier’s approach to each project is defined by a creative and respectful interpretation of the client's vision, ensuring narratives that honor the values of each identity. Each work features bespoke tailoring realizations, achieving stylistic formal excellence, promoting a sense of wellness, and informal living.
The effort focuses on reducing unnecessary complexity, emphasizing instead spatial and material peculiarities to privilege the user experience. This pursuit for the essential involves all creative phases, materials, human resources, energy and even logistics. Every aspect of the development process is centered on the idea of Sustainable Minimalism, which the team achieves through a rigorous ethical system and efficient output. A perfectly functioning strategy at every stage, which allows to minimize waste at every level by producing conscious and sustainable architecture and design.
A profound passion for art enriches and infuses the sensory experience of every setting. A constant commitment to rewrite a rigid orthodoxy willing to exalt the full potential of environments, optimizing fluidity and openness, along with a unique aesthetic, has earned m2atelier reputation of international leaders.
