Alessandro Gnocchi

Alessandro Gnocchi, born 1981, graduated in Industrial Design at the Politecnico di Milano.
After a few years working side by side with some Milanese design establishments, he started his own practice in 2010, while focusing on furniture and consumer products. Much interested in how things work, he tries to formulate ideas in simple and intuitive ways, with deep knowledge of manufacturing processes and profound regard of shapes and functions.
