Mario Alessiani

Mario Alessiani was born in Teramo in 1989 and studied product design at the Istituto Europeo di Design in Rome. He worked as a junior designer in Giulio Patrizi’s studio and then in London with Jake Phipps, before founding his own industrial design studio in Teramo in 2013.

His work explores simplicity and function, and his Float lamp for Axolight won an Archiproducts Design Award in 2020. He teaches design at Sichuan Normal University, IED Rome and the University of Camerino. For Billiani he designed Archetype-A in 2024, a beech chair celebrating the company’s origins and know-how.
