Alessia is an Italian interior designer with a multidisciplinary background shaped by both analytical thinking and creativity. After graduating in International Law, she chose to pursue a second degree in Interior Design at IED in Turin, an experience that continues to influence her work by combining structure, sensitivity, and a strong understanding of people.

Her background allows her to approach each project with both practicality and imagination, translating individual needs and identities into spaces that feel personal, authentic, and considered. She believes good design should do more than simply look beautiful — it should reflect the people who live within it and support the way they want to live.

For Alessia, design is about creating connection and a sense of belonging. She is drawn to spaces that feel welcoming, inclusive, and meaningful, with each project carefully shaped to respond to those who inhabit it. Her approach focuses on designing interiors that are not only visually compelling, but also thoughtful, functional, and deeply connected to the people they are created for.

Desiree is an interior architect and scenographic designer whose work is shaped by the relationship between spatial design and atmosphere. After graduating in October 2024 with a Master’s degree in Interior Architecture and Luxury Scenography, she developed an approach that combines technical precision with a strong sensitivity to the emotional experience of space.

The connection between these two disciplines continues to influence how she approaches each project, balancing spatial analysis with a focus on how environments can feel, function, and be experienced. For Désirée, design goes beyond organising space — it is about creating atmosphere, evoking emotion, and shaping places that tell a story.

Hospitality is central to her design philosophy. She carefully considers how people will move through and inhabit a space, paying attention to experience, comfort, and coherence. Her work aims to create thoughtful environments that feel sensory, welcoming, and adaptable, while maintaining the structure and discipline that strong interior architecture requires.

Desiree believes spaces should never feel static. Instead, they should remain open, evolving through the people who experience them and allowing each place to take on its own life over time.
