“This is a mirror, it is a lamp, it is a treasure chest in which to keep a dear image; it's a friend who tells you that you are shining: while you look at yourself in the mirror (small and intimate, which leaves room only for you), choose the shade of light that best suits you by changing the glass... and, if you need it , open the chest and look at the image inside... a place, a person or even a portrait of yourself.”

Ugo Ambroggio was born in Como on 6 March 1963. In 1988 he abandoned his university studies and began working as a photographer, concentrating his personal research on architectural photography. In 1990 he founded the Aleph photography studio in Como where he still operates today. In this field he collaborates on a series of artistic projects in the Lombardy area and publishes his photos in various books and magazines.

In his activity as a designer, Ugo Ambroggio has collaborated with Baxter for years, creating furnishing accessories and unique pieces of lamps which have always been exhibited with this brand at the Salone del Mobile in Milan.

Most of the pieces created by Ambroggio are the result of transformations and reinventions of objects and tools that were used for industrial and artisan work, or even tools and equipment used daily in the past, which are given a new shape and a "second chance" , without erasing the original memory. And so, bottles, fiberglass tubes once used in the textile industries, mechanical gears, bicycle pedals, keyboards, typewriters are basic ingredients that come together in Ugo Ambroggio's alchemy, giving life to his creations.
