Allegra Hicks

Allegra Hicks is an artist and designer who lives and works between London and Naples. Known for her eye for patterns, she attributes her inspiration to the world around her, building from the colours and forms found in nature. She began her career in fresco painting and her practice still respects the fluidity of watercolour across tapestries, rugs, cast bronze and metalwork.

Over the past decades her work has flourished into one-off design pieces that investigate the diaphanous bridge between art and design, shown through the Collection in Art section of the site. She also exhibits artworks in solo presentations, among them Intermezzo, La Ginestra e il Vesuvio in New York and Ti porterò nel sangue in Palermo, and has realised special projects with Edit, Edit Cult and Nilufar, from Nilufar Pad in London to the Salone del Mobile.
