MARCANTE–TESTA /UdA Architects
Andrea Marcante set up UdA architecture firm in 1992, where he was joined by Adelaide Testa in 2004. The interior architecture projects designed by Andrea Marcante and Adelaide Testa aim to gain synergic control over the various aspects of interior design, ranging from architecture to furnishing accessories, without allowing either to take precedence over the other.
Keeping to this unifying thread over a period in time, lots of these projects have been awarded commendations and prizes, encouraging the firm to continue along the path of architecture that embraces both reason and emotion in a spirit of renewed human awareness.
In 2014 Andrea Marcante and Adelaide Testa set up COSE DA BOCIA, a firm focusing on experimentation into furniture design for children (and not only children), and in 2015 they establish “MARCANTE – TESTA /UdA Architects”, an interior architecture practice specialized in research-oriented projects.
