About the Designer

Mario Botta is a renowned Swiss architect and designer, celebrated for his bold, geometric architectural forms and deep respect for materiality. Born in Mendrisio, Switzerland, in 1943, Botta studied at the University Institute of Architecture in Venice, where he was influenced by iconic figures such as Le Corbusier and Louis Kahn. While best known for monumental works like the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Church of San Giovanni Battista in Mogno, his foray into furniture design—such as the iconic Seconda Chair for Alias—reflects his architectural philosophy: rigorous geometry, structural clarity, and a poetic interplay between solid and void. Botta’s work, both in architecture and design, embodies a timeless modernism rooted in cultural context and craftsmanship.
