We are Architects and in delivering Interior Design we are able to provide a complete understanding of all architectural matters giving a complete, well-proportioned integration of Interior Design and Architecture. For each of our clients we create a custom made project: our aim is to create a total experience, which is based on an extensive research that covers geographic, artistic and cultural influences, using local materials and construction capabilities. We believe in the strength of a team working and together with manufacturers and contactors we succeed to reach the clients goals fully respecting budget parameters.

Born in Reggio Calabria of Sicilian parents, Alessandro La Spada moved to Milan where he got a diploma in Interior Design at the IDI’AC Interior Design Institute & Ateneo Creativo. He later taught ‘Furniture design’ at the same institute and at the Domus Academy. But the passion, the emotional potential and the personality typical of his never-forgotten Mediterranean origins live on inside him and pervade all his creative vein. Today, he is counted among the most brilliant storytellers of the Italian style, capable of creating ever-changing worlds. He can get inspired by whimsical exploits of characters that may be real or created by a likewise vivid imagination, or by a word whispered by a client not aware of being tracing the future path of his own company. Eccentric and eclectic, La Spada has always been fascinated by the emotional aspect of objects. Being a very skilled drawer, he has a predilection for the moulding of materials, and of steel above all. For this very reason he uses to define himself as a self-taught artist with an artisan attitude. For the furniture industry, he designs unusual collections, imagines dreamlike atmospheres and projects artifacts that can tell their own story. A vision more than a sign. The style and not mere exercises in style. He collaborates with, among others, IPE Cavalli with the Visionnaire collection, Antolini, Besana, La Murrina, Longhi, Milldue, Smania Industria Italiana Mobili.

Roberto Lazzeroni, born in Pisa, began his professional life with the study of art and architecture in Florence and the interests he developed during his training, in particular in the conceptual art and radical design movements. In the early 1980s, Lazzeroni made his professional debut with a series of important works in the field of “interior architecture” that immediately attracted attention and were published in Italian and foreign periodicals. Lazzeroni considers “interior architecture” to be a necessary discipline, a sort of “training field” in which to glean varied experience in materials, techniques, and problems inherent to design in the home. A fundamental step for anyone approaching the world of product design. Receptive to the history of design and its “signs,” with a personal stylistic flair that Lazzeroni spontaneously defines as “sentimental design.” It is in fact easy even for the non-expert eye to sense the link between past and future in Roberto Lazzeroni’s projects: his is design that does not parade industrial geometries, but neither does it embody frivolous affectations of aestheticism; it gives objects their correct places in history, in tradition, in an individual and collective autobiography. Lazzeroni’s peculiar understanding of design led him to specialize in concept development: the ideas underlying the creation of new trademarks. The Cecotti Collection experience, begun in 1988, has since been flanked by work with other companies. Roberto Lazzeroni’s life in design is a highly dynamic professional itinerary that, today, sees him involved in many areas, including design collaboration with prestigious firms, art direction, and interior and contract design in many parts of the world.

Mauro Lipparini’s intensive activities in the field of industrial design encompass furniture for both home and office, textiles and other products created for numerous companies in Europe and Japan. In terms of architecture and interior design, he focuses mainly on residential and commercial buildings such as corporate headquarters, showrooms, shops, restaurants and exhibition spaces. In addition, he designs and produces advanced image and corporate identity systems ranging from graphics to editorial services and production. The style of Lipparini, based on pared-down forms and clear, vigorous lines, the characteristics of natural minimalism, is heavily influenced by gaiety of spirit, and an intoxicating sense of aesthetic pleasure and creativity. Through the free use of colours, organic frameworks and original visual ideas, Lipparini broadens the palette of minimalism by converging instantaneousness and the power of this aesthetic quality in new era of maturity and a sense of wellbeing.

Samuele Mazza is one of the most eclectic personalities of our times: fashion designer in Florence during the 80s, first, editor of several books for Electa Mondadori, after, and interior designer, now.
