Atelier APS is the collectible design and art studio founded by Antonio Pio Saracino. Rooted in an Italian sensibility of proportion, material discipline, and enduring form, the studio creates sculptural works and functional objects that move fluidly between art and function. Informed by Saracino’s work across design, public art, and the built environment, the practice is grounded in European heritage, where culture, craft, and contemporary life are treated as one continuous language.

Antonio Pio Saracino’s work is held in the permanent collections of major institutions including the Centre Pompidou in Paris, LACMA in Los Angeles, the Brooklyn Museum and the Museum of Arts and Design in New York, and the MAAS Museum in Sydney. His public art installations are also permanently sited in New York City, including The Guardians at Three Bryant Park and LIFE at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital.

Atelier APS collaborates with Italian master artisans to bring materials to their highest expression—stone, metal, lacquer, marble, and advanced finishes. Each piece begins with research and material study, then advances through prototyping and fabrication, where historic hand techniques are refined through contemporary engineering and digital tools. The result is tactile and precise, shaped by craft, built for longevity, and defined by a timeless sensibility.
