AC Design is the design practice of Aldo Coppola Jr., born in Milan in 1962 and based in Lugano since 2016. A hairstylist by training and the head of his family's international salon network, he has long shaped the spaces of his profession, conceiving salon interiors and professional furnishings and curating an exhibition at the Triennale di Milano.
For Riva 1920 he translated the tools of hairstyling into solid scented cedar. La Pettineuse Coat Stand takes the form of a comb; Bekkuccio Floor Mirror turns the hair clip into a sculptural frame for a large, LED-lit mirror; Audrey Bench reproduces the profile of a brush, its bristles rendered in solid wood.
