Dam Atelier

dAM Atelier is an experimental design studio that works at ranging between architecture and furniture design. Paolo d’Alessandro (b.1993) and Marco Malgarini (b.1993) carried out their architectural studies together at the esteemed Accademia di Architettura di Mendrisio in Switzerland which was fundamental to generate their aesthetic research and technical expertise. Their experimentation with sculptural forms in furniture design, firstly incorporated as a component in larger architectural projects, has then resulted in the perfect playground to first test their artistic and architectonic conception. The resulting pieces showcase the duo’s ability to push the boundaries of gravity and structure, seamlessly blending sculptural forms and bold geometric elements into harmonious compositions. Despite the interplay of overlapping structures, the minimalist design philosophy effortlessly conceals its complexity maintaining an aesthetic purity. Each piece is a sophisticated fusion of conceptual, technical, and artistic research, resulting in a collection that arouses a moment of wonder in the viewer.
