Currently based in Paris, Margherita Ratti has cultivated a career characterized by an innovative approach to cultural production and research. Her academic foundation includes a degree in Architecture from the Politecnico di Milano and a master’s degree in Contemporary Art from the Sorbonne in Paris, allowing her to bridge the gap between structural design and artistic theory. Throughout her career, Margherita Ratti has been a pivotal figure in promoting emerging talent. Between 2012 and 2024, she founded and led It’s Great Design, a laboratory for thinking and making design that showcased unreleased research from young international creators. Her curatorial vision was further demonstrated through the co-foundation of the Lake Como Design Fair in 2018, an event that uniquely integrated design, architecture, and graphic works within historical settings.

Her practice is defined by a commitment to freedom of expression and the transcendence of traditional disciplinary boundaries. Since 2024, she has collaborated with the Parisian studio Undo-Redo and continues to foster contemporary art through the Association IN CONTEMPORANEA and the Garage Fontana exhibition space in Sicily.
