Mario Alessiani Design Studio

Mario Alessiani Design Studio is an Italian design practice built on the idea that design should join quality and thinking in objects that everyone can understand. The studio argues that understanding form and function is not enough: knowing how a product is made, and which techniques and tools shape it, is what makes an object truly appreciable.

Its work spans furniture, lighting and bathroom products for brands including Kimano, Billiani, Bogaerts, Axolight, Fabbian, Hatria, Hiro, Iludi, Xlboom, Umbra, Officine Tamborrino and Offiseria. Alessiani favours simple shapes and few details so that the eye stays on functional and productive aspects, and describes process – matter meeting technique – as the invisible quality he wants people to notice in his objects.
