Since the late seventies, we have been transforming design objects into cultural heritage, both individual and collective. Alias has been tracing its path in the history of Italian design with some of the most influential names in the design world. Collaborations with established and stylistically mature designers, guided by a taste for formal experimentation and the desire to give life to 'Something Else', draw the multifaceted world of Alias products. A common spirit animates the designers' voices and inspirations, catalysed by Alias's know-how. A fertile and generative soil, from which our avant-garde spirit takes shape, playing with the lightness of volumes and materials. We trace the direction following every stage, from design to production and distribution.
Alias was born in 1979 as a profound and ironic cultural reflection. The non-conformist brand name refers to a scene from the 1973 western film 'Pat Garret & Billy the Kid'. From the outset, Alias has emphasised its strong intertwining with the many expressions of creativity and enterprise, a credo that will forever accompany the brand on its journey. In this stimulating and transversal context, Alias has identified stylistic innovation, material research and design culture as the founding elements to build its identity.
Since the beginning, Alias has worked to create timeless icons. Thanks to the constant strive for innovation, through research into materials and the use of innovative technologies, with a focus on design quality, Alias creates design products, some of which have won prestigious prizes such as the Compasso d'Oro ADI, Reddot award, German design award and Archiproducts design awards.
