About
Næssi is a design studio based in Rome and founded by Eleonora Carbone and Alessandro D’Angeli in 2020.
They explore cross-connections between objects, ideas, and spaces with a multidisciplinary approach and a collaborative method dealing with collectible designs for galleries and commissioned projects by brands.
Næssi's work focuses on the relationship between the traditional and the contemporary by exploring the connection of material with craft and manufacture. The goal is identifying unexpected connections, creating transverse systems and tracing enterprising conceptual pathways.
