The people behind the name
Our founder Claudio Franco is at the helm of footwear innovation since its entrance in the market in the early 80s. Having worked for 10 years on many different projects for a number of brands in 1990 decided to start-up his own business and created the studio. Ever since the focus of the company has been to deliver the best product, processes and tools to the market. Since 2015 the studio has also improved its offering, starting to provide also software services alongside the usual footwear design and development. We are a family company that drives project with people and ideas. We are a low-bureacracy and quick-executing studio that can deliver a concept within days or help you for years with steady support.

Our History
Our district and our people have a long history of making quality footwear. Our area is proud of being involved in footwear since a long time. Montebelluna and Asolo have been, since a long time an important hub for textile and footwear. During the great war was at the front of military supply for boots until it became part of the front itself. After world war II the industrious people of the area started developing outdoor and ski boots and other sports footwear. We pride ourselves of having still important international brands that keep their headquarters in Italy, within few kilometers from our offices.
