Francesco Faccin

Francesco Faccin is a Milan-born designer (1977) whose work moves fluidly between industrial design, independent craftsmanship, community-based projects, and gallery exhibitions. He believes in a boundaryless approach to design—one that fosters connections, reflection, and dialogue rooted in deep research beyond the object itself. After working with Enzo Mari and luthier Francesco Rivolta, he opened his own studio in 2007. Faccin has collaborated with Michele De Lucchi, teaches product design at the Free University of Bolzano, and works with various international clients, galleries, institutions, and NGOs. In 2013, he was awarded a fellowship at the American Academy in Rome.

Thanks

This website is dedicated to all those people who, in one way or another, have helped this project/dream/desire to begin and take shape.

Special thanks to my wife and my parents for supporting me, to Cristina Escarrà and Alfonso Pérez Rosales for generously sharing with me their experience as agents, to those clients who, in one way or another, have given me wise advice, to the brands that have placed their trust in me, and to Gonzalo, my godfather, who, with his always generous help, and guiding me throughout this process, is largely to blame for the fact that I can boast of being an “entrepreneur”.

Thanks also to Nuria, Rafa and Guillermo, who, to help me in the hard beginnings of any entrepreneurial activity, have opened the doors of their home, let me share with them a bit of their personal lives when I pass through their cities of residence, and give me free accommodation.

Thanks to all!
