It was in Grumello del Monte, Italy, not far from Bergamo, that Enrico Baleri, Marilisa Decimo, and Carlo and Francesco Forcolini launched their experimental furniture company Alias in 1979. The company’s first product was the Spaghetti Chair (1962) by Giandomenico Belotti, which became a runaway success. Production has been characterized by minimalist designs and delicate constructions ever since. Mario Botta and Alberto Meda created groundbreaking designs for Alias in the 1980s. Meda, for example, was the first to use a combination of honeycomb panels made of Nomex and carbon fibre fabric in his lightweight chairs Light Light (1984) and Soft Light (1989). Today, Meda has been joined at Alias by such designers as Riccardo Blumer, Alfredo Häberli, Michele De Lucchi, Jasper Morrison, and Patrick Norguet.
