Lorenzo Petrantoni
Milan, Italy
Italian illustrator and graphic designer Lorenzo Petrantoni
handcrafts bold contemporary collages using imagery dating back to
an era long gone. Breathing new life into lettering and images
taken from textbooks and dictionaries that date back
to the nineteenth century, his distinctive style is both
beautifully sophisticated and edgily rock ‘n’ roll. Lorenzo uses type, iconography and an extremely well honed sense of design to create vital, explosive images that are strikingly recognizable. As a designer, he has created
campaigns and videos for prestigious brands such as Swatch, Burton, Coca-Cola and Samsonite, to name a few.
Lorenzo also loves working with the press, collaborating with newspapers and magazines such as The New York Times, The New Yorker, Newsweek, among others.
He now lives in Milan, he is a member of the 59ème Demi Brigade
de Ligne in Marengo and he positively loves Perrier.
