AALF

AALF — Authentic, Artful Loft Foundation — is an Italian home décor and lighting brand founded by Alessia Colonna and Federico Bonamici, partners in life as well as in work, and named after the initials of Alessia, Achille, Leonardo and Federico. The company works from a family loft at Via Andrea Ponti 15 in Milan, where objects are designed for people who live, or dream of living, in open, shared spaces.

Its catalogue is deliberately small: the Lampcake lamp and the Handlecake handle, both offered in a palette of colours and made from 100% recycled Green Cast® material in numbered first editions. Every piece is developed around three questions — whether it is desirable, needed and durable over time — and produced in Italy for a community of loft lovers the brand describes as artists, designers, architects, photographers and free spirits.
