Vittori and Vogler have been working together since 2003 and received a number of important international recognitions. In 2006, their prototype for a tent, DesertSeal (2004), became part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Vittori and Vogler were named Modern-day Leonardos in the same year by the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago for the exposition Leonardo da Vinci: Man, Inventor, Genius.
