  We work methodically and across  
  disciplines to awaken curiosity.  
  Our challenge: going beyond novelty  
  as appearance.   
Press the red dot
  We think by making, bringing together  
  conceptual imagination, craft, and  
  material precision. Because ideas become  
  meaningful when they can be made.       
Just a little bit more
  We create bespoke designs that resonate   
  as they activate places, contexts, and the  
  stories around them.  
Play creates memories
through the body.
Great!
Now click on the  star 
  Bold ideas need more than imagination.  
  We bring direct involvement and realisation   
  expertise, shaped by leading collaborations.  
Well done!
Could you multiply?
  From early planning to object detail, we   
  think strategically to turn objectives and  
  constraints into play possibilities.   
Okay!
This is too much!

STUDIO

At Leticia Paschetta Studio, we approach play as a spatial, cultural, and social experience. Not a product category. Not a childhood phase. A field with its own depth, complexity, and creative potential.

Our practice moves across scales and contexts, from play spaces and sculptural equipment to artistic installations, bespoke works, and strategic projects. We approach each commission as a specific situation, shaped by place, people, constraints and possibilities.

We create with curiosity and precision, learning quickly from each condition and requirement, and developing projects from concept and strategy to implementation. For us, imagination and realisation are not separate stages: the way something is made is part of what gives it meaning.

We are architects, designers, structural design teachers and researchers, with a practice shaped by many fields. This unusually diverse background allows us to bring together intuition and rigour, freedom and control, open-ended play, and technical clarity.

We are Richter Spielgeräte Design Partners. This long-term alliance brings our work to catalogue equipment and landmark bespoke projects within one of the world’s most demanding cultures of quality, craft, and play.

We love play! It is the centre of our work: a way to create freedom, intensity, connection, and memory through space.

JOSÉ CAVALLERO

José Cavallero is driven by a deep curiosity for how things work, take shape and hold together. His approach brings spatial imagination into contact with structure, geometry, construction, and detail. He works through systems and material decisions, turning complex ideas into clear, buildable situations without losing their capacity to surprise.

LETICIA PASCHETTA

Leticia Paschetta explores play as a way to create freedom through space. Her work moves between art, design, and material experimentation, shaping immersive atmospheres that invite curiosity, movement and interaction. She is interested in how bodies meet their surroundings, and how forms, textures and situations can open unexpected ways of being, discovering and playing.

Rojo (Red play landscape)

Rojo by Leticia Paschetta Studio — photo 01

Viejo Mercado Cultural Centre needed to transform an anonymous, all-white, 70-metre-long space and create an active link between the centre and its community.

We chose red as the single resource: a way to reduce contrast between colours and activate perception beyond the visual. The project began with challenging questions. How could we explain the colour red to someone who cannot see? What does red taste, sound, or smell like?

We created a sequence of seven play spaces where red became a field of action: video and image, movement, tactile exploration, reading, theatre, costumes, art, and early childhood play. An immersive environment invited visitors to move, hide, slide, imagine, perform, and create.

The result was a complete play experience in red. Children and adults played and participated together, extending the time spent at the centre and turning each visit into a more active, open-ended cultural experience. For the centre, it created a distinctive proposal: accessible, visually powerful, and memorable without relying only on image.

Blanco (White)

Blanco by Leticia Paschetta Studio — photo 01

Invited by Disseny Hub Barcelona to create the Argentinian Pavilion for Barcelona Design Week 2019, LPStudio developed an installation for an exhibition context where visitors are usually expected to look and remain at a distance. The challenge was not to design for children, but to invite the design audience into a more active and meaningful way of inhabiting an exhibition.

The strategy was simple: white on white. By removing contrast, the installation shifted attention away from image and towards action. Lightweight structures layered fabrics and soft elements created an open landscape to swing, cross, hide and explore. Play completed the setting by bringing it to life.

During the exhibition, visitors did not behave like conventional exhibitiongoers. Design executives hesitated before stepping in, couples kissed inside the installation while others played hide-and-seek. What emerged was not a static display, but a vibrant environment shaped by spontaneity and participation.

Blanco was among the most dynamic installations of that edition: a space that replaced contemplation with presence and transformed a museum-like setting into something playful and deeply human.

Spark

Spark by Leticia Paschetta Studio — photo 01

Can participatory events be engaging, truly formative and memorable?

Spark (Chispa) responded to this challenge by turning a one-week design-build workshop into a complete interpersonal and formative experience.

LPStudio developed both an innovative project and a comprehensive building-learning process. Participants worked through a real material system, a limited time frame and a collective goal. The entire installation was based on a single resource —2” x 2” timber pieces— and one repeated 60-degree cut, generating a modular spatial structure with maximum volume and minimum material.

Simple rules allowed the workshop to connect design, structure, production and assembly through direct hands-on work, decision-making and group coordination. Learning matured alongside the growth of a real, shared human experience.

At night, the structure revealed its full value. As an ancestral evocation, fire and wood created a magnetic place for silence, songs and unforgettable gatherings under the full moon.

Bruma (Fog)

Bruma by Leticia Paschetta Studio — photo 01

After two editions of Blanco, Azkuna Zentroa invited LPStudio to develop a new Christmas programme for families, aligned with the international standards of one of Spain’s leading cultural centres.

The selected place was Galeria Mediateka: a grey interior space with no natural light, better suited to art exhibitions than to developing activities. We decided to create an immersive landscape with its own interiority. Bruma worked through blurred limits, soft structures, suspended elements, and layered atmospheres.

Fog became the conceptual thread: an experience of uncertainty and imagination, but also a multilayered theme connected to ecosystems, water, literature and memory. Visitors did not “observe” an installation; they hid, jumped, read stories, shouted, discovered and invented surprising ways to inhabit it.

It was a challenging installation, delivered on schedule and without budget disruption. It completely re-signified the Mediateka, erasing the boundary between “serious culture” and life. The cultural container became a living place, where children and adults brought movement, noise, intensity, and shared play into the heart of the institution.

Bubble House®

Bubble House by Leticia Paschetta Studio — photo 01

The first product developed by LPStudio together with Richter Spielgeräte, a world leader in playground design and manufacturing, Bubble House is the result of deep structural research by the LPStudio team, a clear focus on maximising play value, and excellence in the production process.

Based on the concept of maximum volume and minimum material, a lightweight suspended structure creates the sensation of floating. The seats, placed at different heights and connected by a tensioned system, offer multiple ways to climb, rest, meet and observe. With minimal resources, Bubble House generates a singular play environment: indoor and outdoor, active and calm, individual and collective.

An innovative spatial and structural concept thus becomes a certified play product with international reach. During its public presentation at London Design Festival 2022, its mere presence acted as a magnet for activity and play among many adults in the park of the Argentine Ambassador’s Residence. Today, Bubble House is part of numerous playgrounds around the world.

Leticia Paschetta’s exhibition at New York by Design 2023 presented LPStudio’s creative universe, bringing together completed projects, prototypes, concepts in development and open lines of research.

With the support of APE Studio and Richter Spielgeräte, the exhibition positioned Leticia Paschetta and LPStudio within an international network connected to design, play and spatial innovation.

The exhibition proposed a curated journey through the studio’s way of working: play as research, material exploration, spatial innovation and cultural experience. It presented a body of work where built projects, experimental pieces and future concepts form part of the same creative field.

The show also incorporated play as a live experience through an interactive workshop with children. Like other parallel actions, such as The Tree that Gained Leaves Instead of Losing Them in Red Play Landscape, or the catalogue Do You Want to Play?, developed together with Sole Grossi and recognised editorially with the Argentinian Good Design Label, these initiatives expand the studio’s field of reflection.

Installations, objects, publications, participatory actions and spatial narratives where play becomes a positioning; a way of thinking, communicating and producing culture.
