5 Things We Learned from Alcova’s Founders
Each Milan Design Week since 2018, the itinerant design exhibition Alcova has flooded dilapidated sites throughout the city with work from some of the industry’s most forward thinkers. At Alcova, it’s not unusual to find a giant furry lamp exhibited next to a chair made from agricultural waste. Credit this inspiring mix to the careful curation and stewardship of Valentina Ciuffi, former editor of Abitare, and Joseph Grima, former editor-in-chief of Domus (in addition to being founders of their own respective design studios). This December, the duo are headed to Miami for their fair’s first international edition. During Miami Art Week, Alcova Miami will fill the rooms of a recently restored 1950s-era motor hotel with work from an exciting repertoire of established and emerging designers.
