Roman-born Alessandra Branca’s interiors embody her insatiable curiosity, a taste for adventure, and a dash of rebellion. Honing her craft over three decades, she has cultivated a distinctive use of vibrant layers of color and history and new artful textures all to create iconic, comfortable, chic interiors. From the millennia-old pathways of Rome to the modern creative energies of her offices in Chicago, Palm Beach, and Los Angeles, Branca’s influence shapes richly classical yet updated spaces that seduce worldwide- from private residences to hotels, offices, and yachts, coast to coast and across the globe, spanning California and Colorado to New York, London, Rome, and the Bahamas.

Her early creative life was nurtured by a family that counted art historians and creatives who wove a tapestry of continuous conversation, forming her foundation and feeding her imagination. Within this, context, color, texture, proportion, and precision-balanced with a quiet but strong appreciation for the ancient as well as the new-define a refined intersection of architecture, history, color, and light. Her eye is as likely to be inspired by sun-soaked beach hues as by the interiors of set designer Renzo Mongiardino or the impact of the Farnese on art, architecture, and culture.

Branca’s work has been featured in numerous magazines and design books over the years including Architectural Digest, ELLE Decor, Town & Country, W Magazine, Veranda, The New York Times, and many more. She also received the 2025 Albert Hadley Lifetime Achievement Award from The New York School of Interior Design. Her acclaimed book, New Classic Interiors, quickly became an industry touchstone. In 2020 she introduced and launched her brand Casa Branca, a fabric, wallpaper, and furniture collection with a boutique in Palm Beach, an Atelier and Showroom in West Palm Beach, showrooms throughout the United States and United Kingdom and soon an outpost in Los Angeles.
