Born from a conversation.
Built with intention.
pato. started as an idea between two friends – and became something real. A design project shaped by friendship, clarity, and a shared sense for aesthetics.
Meet Patrick & Ricco.
Patrick, a digital and IT-driven mind with a sense for Scandinavian clarity and design. Ricco, an architect with a passion for clean shapes and urban design.
Two friends with different backgrounds – united by a shared vision. They talked about it for years. On road trips. Over coffee. Late at night.
Designing t-shirts, imagining their own label. One day, they started.
The name? It’s personal.
Patrick’s niece couldn’t pronounce “Padrino” – so she said “Pato”.
It felt right – light, clear, reduced. A word that doesn’t explain, but leaves space.
This expression became more than a name: a mindset of quiet design, of meaning without noise.
pato. design that belongs to you.
What began as a simple story grew into something we stand for.
A brand not about fashion – but about meaning.
