Born in 1982, Alessio Bernardini studied wood and its finishes since his adolescence, spent in the Brianza region in Northern Italy. He entered workshops immediately after his studies and, at a very young age, he went to Paris to learn ancient decorative techniques such as parchment, galuchat and rye straw inlay. Back in Italy, at the age of just 28 he founded A&B Wood Finishes, which established itself in the supply of large woodwork, lacquers and multiple decorative finishes for all companies in the Brianza district and beyond. In 2019, pursuing the desire to marry high craftsmanship with essential and geometric design, Bernardini founded A&B living.
