Luxepitality meets, Fabio Alemanno – Director & Head of Design at Fabio Alemanno

Fabio Alemanno design is a family owned company with over 40 years’ experience
in designing, manufacturing and installing high-end projects with marble and other
natural stones.

Tell us about you background and why you decided to become a designer?

The desire to become a designer came about when I was a child and did not even know what it meant. I have always enjoyed observing shapes and unraveling the details, but what really captivated me, and the best part about being a designer, is the power to create something new, something different … to turn an idea into something real.

What do you specialise in?

I am a specialist in designing high-end projects with marble and other natural stones.
We can transform a block of marble in an immaculate piece of art. We continuously improve our know-how in modern techniques as well
as preserving the traditional art (hand-made) to ensure the best quality and
perfection.

What makes you products special?

We combine traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technologies to develop unique pieces, designed to meet refined tastes and demanding imagination.
Passion, experience and the attention to details lead any design we create. These are the main secrets that make my products so special.

How does it enhance the spa experience?

Our Heated Marble Lounge Chairs are the pinnacle of relaxation. They are designed to offer maximum ergonomic support and freedom of movement and the smooth finish applied to the marble soothes the skin while the pleasant warmth radiates throughout the entire body enhancing the effect of unparalleled relaxation. Our Lounge Chairs offer the benefits of traditional therapeutic heat methods.

What would you say are your main influences when conceiving a piece of work?

My experience, my clients, Italy.

Do you only work within the spa sector?

No Our Heated Marble Lounge Chairs are not
made just for the  spa. With the right combination of material for its base and the right marble color they can be integrated in to a Living room or a
Hotel Suite for example.

What unique services can your company provide?

Our most ambitious project is combining traditional marble sculpting with
innovative engineering to make it functional. Our Heated Marble Lounge Chairs and Spa Equipment are unique sculptures made from a single block of flawless marble,brought to life thanks to metal construction and fiberglass bodywork. Equipped with heating system and tilt mechanism, our product offers an intimate usefulness no marble sculpture has even achieved. Ergonomically shaped, unique in their design and structure, our infra-red heated lounge chairs and spa equipment combine wellness with design and technology offering unparalleled comfort and amazing
