| Biography |
Simone Fanciullacci was born in 1982 in Genova, Italy and is based in Milano. He graduated in
industrial design from the Politecnico di Milano and began working in the industry in 2008.
Product and furniture designer, alongside several collaborations with various companies during
his career, he has always combined his work with artistic research as a means of exploring the
relationship between form and space in furniture design.
Fanciullacci's personal practice has evolved over the years in an attempt to understand the
relationship between the volumes that give life to a form, the rhythm that characterises them
and the balance, sometimes imbalance, that they evoke.
The pieces emerging from this exploration are gathered in a personal collection of furniture
pieces produced in limited series and are the result of hands-on work in sculpture, collage, pure
drawing or love for a technique or material. An aesthetic and poetic investigation, free to
experiment with different languages and materials to give life to unique works and objects,
realised in close collaboration with excellent Italian craftsmen.
Over the years, Fanciullacci has established collaborative relationships with several local artisans
who are able to master different manufacturing techniques (such as metal casting, hand crafting
of marble and wood, CNC machining). The objects developed in this scenario are always the
result of the encounter between a design that is aware of the opportunities and limitations of
fine and valuable materials (such as bronze, aluminium, marble, stone and solid wood) and a
masterful manufacture by hand.
Each piece is unique and derives not only from the encounter between artist and craftsman, but
also from the needs of the client, thanks to the extreme customisation possibilities of the pieces
in the collection.
