Ciszak Dalmas is a design studio, co-founded by Alberto Gobbino Ciszak and Andrea Caruso Dalmas. After graduating from the Politecnico of Turin in 2006, they joined different design firms such as Inga Sempé in Paris, Artemide in Milan, Brh+ and Pininfarina in Turin. They completed the European Design Labs Master in 2008 in Madrid, taking part in workshops directed by international designers (Jaime Hayon, El Ultimo Grito, Irma Boom) and in collaboration with various design firms (Ikea, Vitra, Metalarte among others). The studio was established in 2009 in Madrid and now with outposts in Turin, Hong Kong and Sao Paulo.

In the belief that changes are possible with relatively small design actions, in 2010 Ciszak Dalmas launched 'La Clinica' a collection of handcrafted furniture produced by local artisans based in three different parts of the world: Madrid (Spain), Turin (Italy) and Sao Paulo (Brazil). La Clinica is based on the interaction between young designers and experienced artisans, which combines new ideas with centuries-old know-how. The result is three different collections made from the same design and produced differently according to the local traditions and material resources.

Ciszak Dalmas are currently teaching at the the Istituto Europeo di Design and at the Universidad Francisco de Vitoria and have participated internationally in exhibitions, workshops, conferences in prestigious institutions such as Politecnica in Madrid, Experimenta Biennale in Lisbon, MACEF show in Milano, design weeks in Turin, Valencia and Zaragoza, IED Sao Paulo and Ambassador of Design in Hong Kong. Their work has been awarded with the Injuve first prize in 2010 and mentioned globally in various publications and online magazines such as El Pais, Ottagono, Pasajes Diseño, Dezeen, Interni and AD Architectural Digest.
