18 | ALBA GALLIZIA | MILANO | ITALY
BIO
Works at Brandolini Gallizia Architetti in Milan. In 2015, she founded the brand Algares to produce objects that make the most out of the Italian artisanal techniques. She believes that the synergy between modern design and ancient, refined and wise techniques can be the driving force of an economic revival. Algares started out with two collections, one for jewellery and one for everyday objects.
