Biography:
Douglas Diaz was born in 1971, in Brooklyn, New York. Douglas he began drawing at an early age. Art was his refuge, a mechanism to navigate the world. Encouraged to draw by his parents and grandmother, Douglas would spend long hours, lost in the creation of his own world, while straddling the cacophony of daily life.
During a month-long trip to Japan, he came across an artist that would steer him back into art. Deep in the mountains of Yoshino County in the Nara Prefecture of Japan, renowned to be the most spiritual and sacred of places, he encountered a clarity and peace that would change his life once more.

His weresome of the most iconic moments in Italian production over the last sixty years, from the Proust armchair (1978), to the countless collections of objects designed for Alessi, a multitude of products which – as noted by the most recent and attentive commentators – retraces the obsession of Mendini's surrogate father Ponti for a very restrictive group of fundamental themes (the Ponti ideario) analysed in an endless and diachronic series of forms.
This took place through a practice which was typical of the artist: the construction of graphic and decorative patterns, seen as a direct sign of that which the designer himself defined as his “visual thought” and “vital role”.
