Effortless Elegance with dAM Atelier

In the world of design, few names evoke the same sense of innovation and quiet sophistication as dAM Atelier. Known for their bold, architectural elegance and an almost poetic approach to structure and form, the atelier has carved a unique space in the realm of luxury interiors and bespoke objects. At MOD, where design dreams come to life, we are constantly drawn to creators who challenge conventions while honoring craftsmanship—and dAM Atelier does exactly that. In this exclusive interview, we step into their world: one shaped by deliberate minimalism, tactile richness, and a philosophy that design is not just what we see, but what we feel. Join us as we uncover the stories behind their most iconic works, the inspiration that fuels their studio, and what’s next for this quietly powerful force in contemporary design.

dAM Atelier pieces have an effortless elegance—modern yet timeless, bold yet refined. What’s the secret to creating furniture that feels both striking and naturally at home in any luxury setting?

At dAM Atelier, we see design as a balance between precision and emotion. Our pieces are sculptural yet functional, rooted in architectural principles that create a sense of permanence. The key is finding equilibrium—our work is bold, but never overwhelming; refined, but never sterile. Geometry and materiality do the heavy lifting, allowing each piece to feel both intentional and effortless in any space | Pictured here dAm Founders Paolo d’Alessandro (b.1993) and Marco Malgarini (b.1993) carried out their architectural studies together at the esteemed Accademia di Architettura di Mendrisio in Switzerland which was fundamental to generate their aesthetic research and technical expertise |

Your designs play with structure, texture, and contrast in such a seamless way. How do you approach materials and form to create pieces that are as much about emotion as they are about function?

We start with pure geometric forms, pushing their limits until they reach a state of harmony—visually, structurally, and emotionally. There’s an inherent mathematics to beauty, and we play with that through proportions, balance, and tension. But materials are just as crucial: strong textures and raw surfaces ground the abstraction of geometry, making it tangible and real. A piece that seems to defy gravity should also invite touch | Pictured here the dAM Tiptoe Dining Table in silver travertin |

Luxury weddings are all about ambiance. How do dAM Atelier’s designs elevate spaces, and what role does furniture play in shaping an unforgettable event experience?

Ambiance is a perfect combination of space light and shape. Furniture takes part into it as more than just functional—it sets the tone for a space. In a wedding setting, our pieces bring a sculptural presence, creating focal points that enhance the atmosphere without overwhelming it. The right table, for example, becomes not just a surface, but about designing elements that subtly shape the experience, making a space feel both grand and intimate at the same time | Pictured here the dAM Cut and Fold Collection |

4. There’s a quiet confidence in your approach—designs that don’t shout for attention but instead command it effortlessly. How do you ensure each piece feels iconic without being overdesigned?

Restraint is an art form. Our philosophy is that great design doesn’t need to scream—it speaks through precision, proportion, and materiality. We strip away anything unnecessary until only the essence remains. The result is a design language that feels inevitable, as if the piece was always meant to exist in that form. You don’t notice the huge technical research and complexity—you just feel the harmony | Pictured here the dAM CC Ellipse Dining Table in oak wood+verde alpi marble |

Great design isn’t about demanding attention—it’s about belonging. The right piece doesn’t shout for the spotlight, it blends in becoming part of the space, revealing itself gradually as you take it in. Choose something that moves you every day, something that never loses its intrigue—something that feels like it was always meant to be there."
