Maurizio Altieri (Rome, 1966) worked under Richard Stark, the founder of Chrome Hearts, where he gained foundational experience in the essentials of manufacturing and leather treatment. Altieri is a designer and innovator whose work transcends categorization, characterized by a deep exploration of materials and forms. As the founder of Carpe Diem and M_Moriabc, his projects, including LM Altieri, Linea, L’Maltieri, Sartoria, Anatomic, Intervallo, Avantindietro, vnapersona, vn0ra, and vnestrvs0, embody his commitment to a unified design philosophy.
His work is linked to Arte Povera, a movement of young Italian artists who sought to develop a new sculptural language by using humble, everyday materials. Meaning “poor art,” Arte Povera artists sought to challenge and disrupt the commercialization of art, emphasizing raw materials and authenticity. Altieri’s influence extends to avant-garde fashion, inspiring brands like Layer-0, Devoa, Taichi Murakami, Maurizio Amadei, Uma Wang, A1923, and Label Under Construction. These designers carry forward his philosophy, focusing on craftsmanship, sustainability, and innovation, while rejecting transient trends, ensuring his lasting impact on the industry.
