About

Alcova is a groundbreaking platform dedicated to showcasing cutting-edge projects in contemporary design, architecture, and technology. Established in 2018 by curators and creative visionaries Valentina Ciuffi and Joseph Grima, Alcova has become a key fixture in Milan Design Week, renowned for its ability to bring together emerging talents, established designers, and forward-thinking brands in unconventional and historically rich locations.

Alcova Design Shop extends this vision into a curated e-commerce platform dedicated to collectible and limited-edition design. The shop brings together designers and artisans who explore new materials, production techniques, and forms, offering pieces that reflect the experimental spirit of the Alcova exhibitions.

With small production runs and, in many cases, unique variations, many of the works are close to one-of-a-kind. The platform highlights craftsmanship, originality, and thoughtful production, encouraging a more conscious approach to collecting and living with design.

Alcova Design Shop is a curated space where creativity, research, and material exploration meet — inviting visitors to discover exceptional pieces and the stories behind them.
