Piero Alessandrini

Architect and Designer - Italia

Piero Alessandrini graduated in Architecture, with top marks, from the University of Rome's Architecture School at Valle Giulia. He studied under Professor Pier Luigi Nervi, who summarized the entire philosophy of his profession as: "an architect is a bricklayer who studied Latin".

Architect for the team of designers for Adnan Kassoghi's yacht, for eight years he was in charge of the refurbishment and furnishing of the Sultan of Brunei's villas at Jerudong-Park in Bandar Seri Begawan.

Piero has won renown as an architect in Italy and abroad for the design of prestigious private homes: Villa Spalletti Trivelli and the Agnelli's home in Forte dei Marmi, for example. Important public projects include: the Italian Embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and the "Scuola Superiore dell'amministrazione dell'Interno" (Interior Ministry Academy) in Rome.

During her state visit to Italy, where she opened the "Scuola Convitto delle Infermiere Volontarie della C.R.I" (Italian Red Cross Boarding School for Nurses), Queen Elizabeth II asked to meet the architect to personally express her appreciation of his work.

And for his work on the "Cortilone" between Saint Peter's Basilica and the Sistine Chapel, Piero received a letter from Cardinal Virgilio Noè, President of the Fabric of Saint Peter " for your patient work in interpreting our needs. Your effort will most definitely be remembered in the history of the Basilica "

Since 2007, Piero Alessandrini has worked on innovative designs for small dwellings and common spaces for residential projects. In his social housing work, he replaces parallelograms with other geometric shapes to meet the needs of both clients and residents to best effect, by doubling the amount of illumination and ventilation without changing surface size.

Piero Alessandrini has chosen methacrylate for his new collection of furniture that sits beautifully with any architectural style. The material can be molded into the most diverse shapes, while its transparency gives a lightness of touch that allows the idea inspiring each table, chair or bookcase to shine through.

Piero Alessandrini's new collection for Italian Designer Furniture is the fruit of his experience, his impeccable taste and his ability to look to the future while grasping the best of the past.

"Fascinated by the term "transparency", I decided to use it as the inspiration for free shapes, as an intangible channel for new forms of symbiosis of matter, a new outcome of the creative process Transparency as truth! "
