Born and raised in Varazze, Liguria, Simone Fanciullacci moved to Milan to pursue product design at the Politecnico University, making it his permanent home in 2008. After almost 10 years working in design studios, he founded an art consulting firm in 2017 and currently curates Edizione Limitata (“Limited Edition”), a collection that keeps traditional Italian craftsmanship alive with bold, functional objects perfect for modern homes. He received numerous accolades for his collaborations, notably the IF Design Award and a special mention for the prized Compasso d’Oro Award.
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
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. 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.
