Early Life and Education
Valsecchi was born in Locarno, Switzerland in 1992. He studied Fashion Styling at Milan's Istituto Marangoni and obtained experience in the fashion industry.[3]He began his career as a stylist before transitioning into interior design, working with architects and private clients on projects that included natural stone and other materials.[4] His early life, childhood, and artistic inspirations are featured in the book '50 Amazing Young Swiss' written by Swiss-American author Jeanne Darling.[5] The book highlights the experiences from his youth that played a significant role in shaping his current artistic practice.
Career
Fashion and Interior Design
After completing his studies, Valsecchi worked as a stylist and personal shopper in Lugano, assisting clients with wardrobe selection and aesthetic choices.[6] His work in fashion led to an interest in interior decoration, where he collaborated on residential and commercial projects. He worked with designers and artisans to integrate luxury materials into interior spaces.[4]
Furniture and Home Collection
In 2018, Valsecchi collaborated with Valsecchi Marmi, a family-run stonework company, to create a collection of marble furniture.[7][8]The collection included handcrafted tables, decorative objects, and home accessories. His works have been mentioned in publications such as Architectural Digest,[9] Vanity Fair, and Il Corriere della Sera.[10]
Marble Bags Collection
In 2023, Valsecchi introduced Marble Bags, a series of marble sculptures modeled after luxury handbags.[11] The project follows his earlier Home Collection and incorporates fashion aesthetics with traditional stone-carving techniques. Initially developed as an experiment after a conversation with friends about creating marble versions of handbags and the influence of pop art figures like Andy Warhol,[12] the collection has since been exhibited internationally. It has been noted for its detailed craftsmanship, using techniques like sanding, diamond drills, and the use of marble to replicate the textures and forms of fabric accessories, with each sculpture taking up to three months to complete.[13][3]
