Studio 65 is an Italian collective of architects and designers founded in Turin in 1965 by Franco Audrito, Roberta Garosci, Enzo Bertone, Paolo Morelli, and Marilena Boccato. Emerging in a period of cultural and political ferment, the studio became a key player in the movement of Italian Radical Design, breaking away from modernist functionalism. Their work blends formal experimentation, social critique, and a playful spirit, using design as a tool for provocation and cultural reflection.

Among their most iconic creations are the Bocca sofa (1970), shaped like bright red lips and inspired by a work of Dalí, which became a pop design icon, and the Capitello armchair (1971), humorously reinterpreting a fragment of an ancient column. These pieces exemplify Studio 65’s taste for irony, symbolism, and the reinvention of cultural archetypes.

Beyond furniture, the collective developed projects in interior and urban design, seeking to blur the boundaries between art, design, and architecture. Their bold and radical approach left a lasting mark on the history of Italian and international design, with many of their works now part of the permanent collections of major museums dedicated to contemporary design.
