Alberto Lievore is a well-known architect and designer, and was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1948. He was born into a family of Italian immigrants, and even as a child, he had grown into his interests and sensitivity for his simple environment, his family and all his simple possessions. He had begun inventing various objects and creating toys for himself, but as the years progressed he pursued a scientific technical education in chemistry and went into work for an oil company. He later completed his military service and sought to further his love for design and began architecture at the Buenos Aires Faculty of Architecture.

While he went to school, he worked at a cabinetmaker's workshop and as a window dresser, but it was at the workshop that he did design some lacquered furniture for a bank, and it was there that he first met Jorge Pensi. At this time he had acquired a lot more wisdom about his craft and was confident enough to establish his own studio, Hip'tesis in 1972, where he designed furniture to his tastes and showcased his work, and his production aspect was done right there as well. His works ran strongly on the foundations of the vast concept of design, which is fathomed to be a rigorous, cultural discipline and 'integrationist', as a process that pursues the purest spirit or essence of an entity. He received a lot of local recognition and acceptance, but a few years later Argentina went into its dictatorship period, and this signaled Lievore's departure from his home country.

Alberto went to Spain and spent a little time in Madrid, but them moved to Barcelona, where again he met Jorge Pensi at the Furniture Fair, and he later offered Lievore his position at the furniture firm Alicante, which he accepted. In 1977, he officially settled in Barcelona where he founded a studio in the Berenguer el Gran Square with colleague Norberto Chaves, and afterwards Daniel Perrando, Oriol Pibernat, and Jorge Pensi. Their first project was furniture equipment bought by the Sneka, and just afterward Perrando and Chaves left the team, but Lievore and Chaves remained friends and partners in other projects as well, example a furniture system for kids, Creser would change and grow as they would. Pensi and Lievore worked as a team as well in designing and consulting to firms such as Perobell, Kron and Lamac. And as their firm 'Grupo Berenguer' stated to formulate itself, they started up the SIDI project, which became the platform of contemporary 'good design' furniture in the Valencia Furniture Fair.

In 1984, he started his very own Alberto Lievore & Asociados firm, which allowed him to learn and grow more as a designer, and also evolving as one. It was around this period did he create the Manolete armchair, and it is still considered as an icon of 80s Spanish design. He also designed other pieces like the Rothko chair, Ele Hall tables or his famous Radical chair, which won him the first award of the 'Concurso Nacional de Diseno' at the Valencia fair in 1992. In 1999, he changed the name of his firm to Lievore Altherr Molina, as other designers Jeanette Altherr and Manel Molina joined the lineup, and helped expand his business to other arenas that he alone would have not attained. It was in that same year he was recognized for his coherence and quality of his work with the National Design Award from Spain.

He still continues his incredible work with his firm, attaining worldwide acceptance and notability with his partners for their brave and bold furniture designs that go across the board.
