From the beauty of the surface to the depth of the third dimension

"My creative collaboration with Alias has always been characterised by the search for new typologies, the discovery of innovative materials or the recovery of forgotten themes. The dynamics of this teamwork, often triggered by a shared lunch, a stimulating visit to an exhibition or directly in the Alias workshops, reflect the spirit of the company. A spirit that is deeply rooted in the passion and commitment of the entire team. This bond has accompanied us for almost three decades and continues to drive us forward, guided by our motto: Alias, Something Else!" Alfredo Häberli
