Born in 1977 in Biella, Piedmont, Simone Desirò was immersed in the world of interior design from childhood, inspired by his maternal grandfather and father, both decorators. After completing his studies, he joined the family business, where he honed his taste for decorative craftsmanship.
He furthered his training with specialized courses in gilding, faux marble painting, faux wood, and faux moldings, before discovering the scagliola technique in 2005 at the Rima Artificial Marble Association. A student of master craftsman Silvio Dellavedova, the last custodian of this Piedmontese tradition, Simone Desirò has embraced and reinterpreted this ancient art.
In 2016, his victory in a regional competition marked a turning point: he brought scagliola into the realm of collectible design, reinterpreting it for contemporary tastes. Since then, his collaborations with designers, international galleries and major haute couture houses have allowed him to create unique pieces, consolidating his reputation as one of the most remarkable artisans in the renewal and reconceptualization of this ancestral technique.
