About

Orbit is the result of a collaboration between Alex and the renowned Italian architect Alessandro Isola. Isola’s relentless desire to challenge conventions, combined with Alex’s passion for experimentation and overcoming obstacles, shaped this unique piece. Various production methods were explored, each leading to different possibilities. Countless prototypes were developed, gradually arriving at the final design, where both machine and hand fabrication techniques were harnessed to create this mesmerizing piece.
