Both embrace an elegant minimalism, each drawing on references and experiences specific to their upbringing. Palombo's European heritage has fostered a love of understated matte bisque finishes and the stylized forms of ancient Cycladic and Mycenaen sculpture. Alonso-Rodriguez's work draws upon architectural and botanical influences, as well as lingering memories of his childhood in Havana.Both create works of deceptively complex simplicity that provide a perfect complement to sophisticated interiors across a broad variety of design styles.
