Things of quality and of real beauty are not scared of the passing of time
Francesca Colombo is a fashion designer, creative director and artist.

Her strong sensitivity to colours and surfaces and the search for eclectic and poetic elements is expressed through her eponymous brand of wallpapers, porcelain and textiles, where each design is
handmade by Francesca with extreme care, and then entrusted to the expert hands of artisans who will transform it into decoration for porcelain, wallpapers and textiles made exclusively to order.
After her training as a fashion designer, she started working for prestigious fashion brands between Milan and Paris; but it was only after living in Spain that she approached the worldof decoration and
interior design, and once back in Milan, her hometown, she decided to set up her own consultancy firm and her eponymous brand of porcelain, wallpaper and textiles, working closely with family-run
or medium-sized craft businesses distributed throughout Italy.
In addition to the aesthetic research linked to the realisation of the collections, the intention is to create objects of beauty and quality that are not afraid of the passage of time, objects above the ephemeral fashions of the moment and capable of making every moment of our conviviality/ daily life special.
