Mario Alessiani was born in 1989, and after specialising in science in secondary school he decided to study industrial product design. Originally from the town of Teramo in the Abruzzo region, he moved to Rome to study at the European Institute of Design (IED), where he had the opportunity to come into contact for the first time with leading companies in the industry, such as Lago, Ceramica Flaminia, Vist and Bonduelle. He began working for Gulio Patrizi while still a student, before moving to London where he worked for Jake Phipps, who gave him the chance to learn about the more hand-crafted, poetic side of design. He subsequently returned to Italy where he opened his studio and began working with various national and international companies.
