Ludo's Story
ByLUDO was born in Rome from a drawer of forgotten earphones, tangled cables, and silent keyboards — and from my desire to give waste a second life.
What once connected people digitally now reconnects them emotionally, transformed into wearable art with meaning.
I founded ByLUDO when I was just sixteen. My first solo show, Eco-joux, debuted at Margutta RistorArte in Rome and soon led to exhibitions in Frankfurt and Tokyo.
After years working as an architect at Kengo Kuma and Associates in Tokyo, I immersed myself in Japanese craftsmanship, blending minimalism with sustainability. In 2021, my collection Umarekawaru: Born After Waste showcased this fusion — recycled tech meeting refined artistry.
When I returned to Rome in 2023, I continued my research with a broader international perspective. My exhibition Precious Waste: A Transformation Journey, first in Tokyo and later in Rome, celebrated the rebirth of discarded materials as contemporary jewels.
Since then, ByLUDO has been showcased at Milan Jewellery Week (Artistar Jewels, Palazzo Bovara) and has received major recognition — the Energie per Roma Award (2025) and the Green Product Award 2025 in the Fashion category, selected among 1,500 participants from 45 countries.
