Background
Aurélien Raymond and Costanza Rossi met at famed Studio Casiraghi, whilst working on a variety of international, residential and commercial projects. Both architects with extensive curricula in some of the world’s best universities, they decided to partner and launch their design studio Akademos. Aurélien fell in love with interior design when freelancing for the likes of Pierre Yovanovitch and Emmanuelle Simon. Having grown up in Carrara – known for its spectacular marble quarries- and having spent part of her university years in Venice, Costanza has a keen eye for materials, details and beauty.
Signature Style
Form follows function without sacrificing aesthetics. Obsessed with details and craftsmanship, Aurélien and Costanza deliver pieces that are both aesthetically perfect and utterly liveable. Each design must be enjoyed and experienced as a sensual, sensorial journey enhanced by the use of sophisticated materials including the unexpected mix of lacquered wood and cashmere.
Showstoppers
The L-shaped Scott 02 Sofa. Besides its perfectly balanced proportions, this design incorporates all the key ideas of Studio Akademos’ ethos – function, form, and luxurious materials- coming together on a large scale.
