Alberto Colzani
Born in Corbetta (MI) in 1951, after taking a degree in architecture at the Politecnico in Milan, he has worked, mainly in the field of interior design, although jewellery design is another major interest. He has developed the coordinated image for a chain of clothing stores. In 1994 he won the Compasso d'Oro award for the Cartoons screen, produced by Baleri Italia in 1992. He has been a collaborator of the company from 1990 to 2004, in charge of the art direction of the showroom in Milan, and the settings for the collection in occasion of events both in Italy and abroad. In 2004 he founded eb&c, with Marilisa Baleri Decimo and Enrico Baleri, a research centre which cooperates with cerruti baleri and other companies in the product design and development. One of his latest projects for cerruti baleri, the innovative Marì chair and armchair, has soon become one of the company's bestsellers.
