Gabriele Rosa was born in 1982 in Rome where he got his degree in industrial design. While still a student, he had his first experiences at some of Italy's most emblematic furniture companies, such as Poltrona Frau and Cappellini, and has worked in prestigious architecture studios. At 25 he made his debut as a freelance designing "Pablo" for Zannota. In the following years he gained international attention thanks to very innovative products, like the bathroom collections produced by Antoniolupi, one of his main clients, or the mirrored cabinets designed for Pallucco. The Party sofa in 2012 confirmed his important role as a young Italian designer.
