Biography:
Alessandro Guerriero is recognised for his disruptive and important influence on design and architecture. In founding Alchimia in 1976, one of the most vibrant groups in the evolution of post avant-garde Italian design, he established his place in the long history of artists whose influence is still evident today.
Working with the likes of Alessandro Mendini, Andrea Branzi and Ettore Sottsass, in 1982 Alchimia was awarded the Compasso d'Oro for research in design. Among the most important installations completed by the studio is the Stanza Del Secolo in the Palazzo dei Diamanti in Ferrara, the Mobile Infinito at the Museum of Moden Art of Tokyo and the Fin-de-Siecle room at the Centre George Pompidou.
With Alchimia, he published numerous books and collaborated in the art direction of DOMUS. His more recent architectural work includes the Casa della Felicita (House of Happiness) for the Alessi Family in Omegna and The Art Museum of Groningen, Holland - a collaboration with Alessandro Mendini, Michele de Lucchi, Philippe Starck and Coop Himelblau.
In 1987 he founded the DOMUS Academy, a post-graduate industrial design and fashion place of learning and in 1996, after having opened his new atelier, Radiosity, he began working with Tobia Scarpa, on the Benetton Museum with Oliviero Toscani which opened in 2018.
He was appointed President of the Nuova Accademia di Belle Arte of Milan.

Biography
In 1976 Alessandro and Adriana Guerriero established Alchimia, the first example of manufacturing designers in Milan. In 1978 and 1979 they presented the Bau haus and Bau haus II collections. Lamps, armchairs, chairs, tables, cabinets, and so on. Artists involved: Alessandro Mendini, Ettore Sottsass, Bruno and Giorgio Gregori, Michele De Lucchi, Andrea Branzi, UFO, Paola Navone, Daniela Puppa, Franco Raggi. The prevalent decorative material is laminated plastic. Alchimia’s culture, which is against the Italian design (Casabella magazine) changes the base of all previous design theories, resulting in a profound and radical change in the mindset of architects.
Visual Alphabets, Redesign, Trivial Design, Cosmetics and Sentimental Robot are the slogans underlying the exuberant and vast production of Alchimia city. In the theoretical manifesto of the group, Alessandro Mendini writes “Alchimia is not interested in disciplines because they are considered to be within their rules. Indeed, it is important to look into the existing large free spaces between them. Alchimia weighs the assumption that conception and confused production methods should coexist where craftsmanship, manufacturing, information technology, techniques and current and obsolete materials can get mixed up. “They are handcrafted objects, recycled, mass, improbable, provocative, Kitsch, all very theory-laden. It operates and experiences in many sectors: the Pensione Ideale (Franco Raggi), the Copertine di Domus (Occhiomagico), the Abito Sonoro and the performance of Persone Dipinte (Anna Gili), the Stilismo della Moda (Cinzia Ruggeri...
