Designers - Alba

At Alba, design plays an increasingly central and indispensable role in the development of each new product. In particular, the most recent collections can boast of an extensive development and research process conducted in collaboration with a selection of high-profile designers who have focused on creating products with a curated and innovative design, but also with an eye to functionality and safety.

In addition, in order to design functional and ergonomic furniture solutions that are in line with current trends, our R&D department carries out constant analyses of market trends and the most innovative and sustainable materials, either by working alongside external designers or by handling the direct development of entire collections.
