Lorenzo Petrillo

An interior designer and community driver by training, Lorenzo started his career in Italy designing for esterni, an agency that develops cultural projects for public spaces including the Public Design Festival.

Lorenzo started LOPELAB (www.lopelab.com), a design consultancy agency that redesigns public spaces through marrying urban structures and social ideas for a more enjoyable and sustainable city. Through this outreach, Lorenzo hopes to change Singapore, the region and the world, one space at a time, by promoting the local arts and culture scene.

Since then, Lorenzo and his team at Lopelab have organised eight Urban Ventures events that saw over 50,000 visitors partying the weekend on Keong Saik Road.
