Mattice’s designs have been exhibited internationally, most recently at Dubai Design Week 2024, where he presented an exclusive series of collectible design and art pieces.

Every piece he produces is meticulously crafted, employing cutting-edge technologies to perfect both form and function.

Having worked alongside renowned designer Ross Lovegrove, Mattice has contributed to dozens of groundbreaking projects, from parametric sculptures to architectural designs like the Spacedome. This mentorship has deeply shaped his vision, fusing his technical expertise with an ability to push boundaries across scales, from products to large-scale installations.

Mattice’s journey is shaped by a commitment to exploring the boundaries of design and art. Through his work, he creates objects that embody his vision of a seamless union between the natural world and state-of-the-art technology, inviting others to engage with thoughtful, boundary-challenging creations.
