Alessandro Guidolin is an Italian designer born and raised in Treviso, in the countryside of the Veneto. He sums up his approach in three words, perseverance, patience and passion, and works with traditional materials, valuing the skill of the craftspeople who master them and the time that careful work requires.
For Riva 1920 he designed the Temperino Stool (2014), a stool and bench machined from a single block of solid scented cedar that reproduces an oversized pencil sharpener, complete with a metal detail. The Miaooo Stool, carved from a single block of reclaimed cedar, takes its soft forms from a cat's paw, with padded cushions shaped like paw pads.
