Alchymia Stories
Origins and foundation
Lucio Doro, passionate about wood decoration, begins his professional activity by visiting workshops in Brianza with his equipment: a portable table, four jars with thinner, linseed oil, bronze powder, and some brushes.
These are the years of baroque-style furniture, which finds its place in Italian homes. Lacquered furniture enriched with hand-painted bucolic scenes: small landscapes, floral bouquets, rustic characters, or people dressed for festivities.
In the late 1970s, due to continuous growth, there arises a need to expand production by introducing new processes, including the complete cycle of lacquering and decoration.
Research and Materials
With the increasing number of new commissions, the adventure of Alchymia begins as a sole proprietorship dedicated to producing large decorative paintings featuring floral subjects or classical art themes, where craftsmanship finds expression in three-dimensionality, color, and the refinement of materials used.
The stylistic research also turns its attention to French Art Deco, with focused studies on the methods of using specific materials: straw, brass, egg shell technique, and semi-precious stones.
The study of manufacturing techniques follows the stylistic exploration, balancing form and functionality. This results in the creation of some iconic pieces from these years, such as the Fabergé egg, Domitilla in egg shell, various tributes to Giò Ponti, and reproductions of classic Italian paintings on furniture.

The 2nd Generation
Years of success have brought significant changes to Alchymia. The generational transition from Lucio Doro to his children has introduced new perspectives to the company’s operations and a fresh artistic and commercial vision, capable of innovating on what has been built.
The company has expanded, and a new space allows for production to innovate and grow, providing room to showcase Alchymia’s signed furniture, where art meets furniture through products and decorations that become collections to be presented again.
The contributions of carefully selected internal and external collaborators have brought new ideas and solutions, shifting the company’s focus from decorative objects to taking on major projects for private residences, almost entirely for international clients.
Design for Yatch
One of the lastest achievements, the luxury yacht sector represents the latest success in decoration and interior design through the company’s vision.
Alchymia’s design extends to the most luxurious interiors, adding a unique touch that truly impresses.
This commitment is affirmed by their presence at the Monaco Yacht Show, which underscores the ongoing dedication and continual pursuit of excellence by the Doro family.
Atelier Durini and Internationl Audience
The expansion into international markets has led to the conscious development of a product capable of adapting to various needs, respecting the dreams and desires of the client.
This created the need for a dedicated space for meetings and discussions in the heart of Milan, which over the years has become a landmark of Italian Design on the world stage.
Thus, Atelier Durini was born, fully furnished, inviting the public to experience interior design firsthand and to touch and feel samples and fabrics, which are the key to personalizing Alchymia’s products and projects.
