Alessandro Isola

You will find him wearing black and a scarf. Always.
Drinking espresso and being 'Italian'.

Drawing inspiration from life experiences of successful dancer, a theatre actor and a policemen.

What do they have to do with design?

To him everything.
The awareness of space, the acknowledgment of gesture, the patience to understand a situation and most importantly to listen to the heart of the subject. His style is not to have a style. Everything is tailored to a specific client and to a specific site. To him Style is an invention of the insecure.

''I go to a concert and I observe people pattern and behaviour before listening to the music.

I go to a dance show and I look at the costume’s before enjoying the dance.

I go to a bar and I touch the counter before ordering a drink.
I enter an art gallery and look at the lighting before admiring the art.

I enter a house and I feel the atmosphere before greeting the host.

Every gesture, every movement, the way we hold a glass or grab a fork.

The way we dress, the way we behave, this is all a story that only needs to be read and translated into our living environment.''
