ABOUT ME

I am Alessandra Arrigone, a dedicated interior design student who has completed a four-year course at the University of IED. With a deep passion for cultural exploration and a keen eye for unique design elements. I take a holistic approach to interior design, incorporating nontraditional elements to create compelling and captivating spaces. As a student actively seeking work opportunities, I bring a fresh perspective and boundless enthusiasm to my design projects. Inspired by my studies in Italy, the design capital, I draw from a rich tapestry of diverse influences, resulting in innovative and culturally infused designs. Notably, I had the honor of being selected by the university to present my team’s project to a prominent hospitality company, where we conceptualized an existing hotel. Through this experience, I showcased my ability to collaborate effectively and deliver exceptional design solutions. With an unwavering commitment to pushing boundaries and creating unforgettable interiors, I look forward to make a meaningful impact in the field of interior design.

PRODUCT & RESIDENTIAL PROJECT: 2022

Collaborators: Ipek Irmak & Boyana Sharlopova

A collaboration with the historic pool company, Piscine Laghetto. We took their product ‘Playa’ and integrated it within the design of their clients home- an Italian family. It was observed that the column possessed a deep presence within the Italian culture, symbolizing resilience. An issue of considerable magnitude in today’s society pertains to the lack of effective communication within families. Hence, by transforming the traditional columns, we sought to underscore the importance of dismantling barriers that obstruct an atmosphere of open communication.

PRODUCT & INSTALLATION PROJECT: 2021

Collaborators: Ipek Irmak & Boyana Sharlopova

We had the chance to collaborate with the innovative artists and designers from Atelier Biaggetti, presenting us with an exciting opportunity to create something truly thought-provoking and unexpected. Our mission was to draw inspiration from Biagetti’s unconventional design methods, and in doing so, we dared to question the conventional norms of romantic relationships. This led us to conceive Flamma, a captivating human interactive installation designed to prompt couples to delve into the intricacies of their relationship, examining its status and depth in a unique and engaging manner.
