Alexia Rossetti
Raised in Florence, Italy by a shoe designer and a lapidary artisan, Alexia Rossetti was surrounded by art and design since childhood. Her first clear memory as a child was a trip to the Museo Salvatore Ferragamo, the famous shoe designer’s museum.
A self-professed chocolate snob, Alexia refuses to eat anything but the best chocolate. Led by her nose, she went traveling in her early 20s in search of the perfect chocolate, staying in Belgium, Switzerland, France, and Brazil. While on her chocolate forays there, she also took in the sights and visited some antique stores and famous architectural buildings. Slowly she grew more interested in architecture and interior design than the chocolate.
Throughout the years, Alexia dabbled in jewelry design, furniture design, and sculpture before concentrating on interior design. Nowadays, Alexia has parked herself in New York, where she designs for foreigners who are snapping up the real estate. On the side, she still has time to consult with chocolatiers in creating unique artisan chocolate.
