I'm Alessandro, an industrial designer trained at Politecnico di Milano. I spent two years living and working in Japan, first as a student at Chiba University and KIT, then as a junior designer at Teruhiro Yanagihara Studio in Kobe.

Those years gave me the discipline of making slowly, with intention. The most considered objects are rarely the loudest, they hold their presence quietly and reveal themselves over time.

I design with that in mind, drawn to work where material, detail and use are never afterthoughts, and where the aim is something that lasts.
