and in 1999 he was appointed Adjunct Professor at the University of Florence, for the Course of

Philosophy.. He founded StudioMEMO with the Designer Prof. Roberto Tapinassi in Florence, in
2001. The two Designers found common ground in wanting to offer new solutions for contemporary
living issues by applying the logic of Italian Design—work, which is purposeful and well-established in
research.
Alessandro Castello and Maria Antonietta Lagravinese met in one of the most important studies of
design and architecture in Milan, where they matured and broadened their experience in product,
graphic, set and interior design. In 2008 they created the brand ONLYMITED featuring a collection
of limited edition pieces inspired by the world of fashion. In addition to being artistic directors for
ONLYMITED they collaborated as designers with important companies in the world of contemporary
and classic furniture. In 2014, in collaboration with Alberta, they designed the Controluce collection,
an exquisitely tailored collection, with finishes and details inspired by the world of fashion, always the
undisputed testimony of Italian style around the world, and Black collection, a selection of exclusive
products that “design” the interiors with all their personality and a touch of irony.
