"The challenge is to know how to best blend three concepts, achieving each time a shared vision, an execution that is faithful to it, a result that has
its own identity"
Michele Arcarese
ABOUT
Michele Arcarese is an Italian architect and interior designer specialized in the design of sophisticated hotels, residences, and commercial spaces with a twenty-year portfolio of international projects.
During his university studies, Michele also worked as a set designer in Paris, where he developed his sensitivity for stage space, lighting, and emotion. His passion has always been to create a coherent mood to live the space.
He developed his talent by specializing in hotels and luxury spaces. Hospitality is, in fact, the area where he started to work in the late nineties, and thanks to which he founded is architecture, interior and design studio in Rome.
His leitmotiv is a costant research of balance between reason and emotion.
A concept and method with which he trained his team, and that he uses in the masterclasses he teaches.
Throughout his experience, Michele Arcarese has experimented with all ramifications of architecture: from the design of large buildings to single fabrics. He has created unique objects for every individual space he designed, a collection of over one hundred pieces. He has reached full maturity and the ability to manage any type of project with an open and confident mind.
Research is lifeblood for him, that is the reason why his design activity is constantly evolving in a way that avoids the risk to be trapped in an aseptic and repetitive style.
His amiable and peaceful personality has tempered the firmness and the determination grown in him with his professional experience. These are the distinctive characteristics that customers and partners identify him with.
"My team is emotionally and functionally
involved with me in every project"
