ALESSANDRO CIFFO

Born in Biella in 1968, Alessandro Ciffo joined the world of design only in 1997. Self-teaching and self-production are the key words of his artistic journey, which is based on the research of the potentialities of silicone, his one and only medium, the only material capable of fully expressing his emotions.

With an outstanding technical control, mastered through tireless experimentations and endless patience, Alessandro creates artefacts that cannot be easily classified, as they are a crossroads between art and design. 
In a riot of brilliant colors, saturated whites, absolute blacks, silicone from a humble “support” material becomes poetry, on par with fine ceramics of precious woods, precious marbles.

In Ciffo, the creative coexists with the worker, with the artist, with the designer, with the self-made person, figures that in the contemporary world are generally separated. A modern alchemist capable of transforming material into matter for invention through ingenuity. Able to make it become the ground for design to arouse emotions.
