Daniele Della Porta

(Salerno, 1976)

Traces of Filippo Alison’s influence, his tutor during the studies in architecture, can be found in his designing attitude, which stands in precarious balance between the material culture and the poetry of everyday living, as well as in the ability of showing the beauty of a simple function. His work is dominated by the confrontation between the designer and the craftsman, the tie with the past and a stable presence in the present. This inclination is found in the design of furniture and accessories, as well as his understanding of art direction which is sensitive to entrepreneurial development based on the central role of the designer and the execution of a craftsmanship rooted in the local territory.
