About me
I grew up in Florence - the City of Arts - where art, architecture, craft, fashion and style converge. Combined with this, I soon honed a left-eye and a true passion - through my grandmother - for ceramic, fabric, patterns and colour. She is a true "lover of beauty" with a wonderful instinct to stage things in her home. You can say that she guided me through the essentials of home styling and decoration. I initially started my career as a graphic designer, but this fervid passion for home decoration called me back to specialise in textiles and interior design in Berlin and London. In 2014, I moved to Berlin and decided to create my own fabric collections, along with offering "interior refresh" services and colour consultancy. When I design I think of creating something happy and layered. I like imperfections and surprises that make a fabric special. I like to play with contrasts. This often means using bright colours with pale ones, mixing patterns, sharp corners and curves.

  • Collection Aquarela do Brasil
    Collection Aquarela do BrasilTextiles for fashion and interior with vibrant and bold colours that strike the eye. In the designs are incorporated shapes of plants, shells and animals. The textiles have a retro taste, as they were coming from a different time.

  • Berlin Interior
    Berlin InteriorThis house had a lot of nice furnitures and art pieces, but needed a strong refresh to get his personality. I worked with what was already inside the flat, without buying anything new. I focused on creating little treasure corners and on bringing the colours together. Now everything has its place and the different accents bring you to want to explore every little detail. My client was very satisfied on how the project turned out.
  • Country Side Interior
    Country Side InteriorThis was an unused part of an old countryside house, which has been revitalised for hosting guests. Has been renewed from scratch. My aim was to give a warm but light feeling, mixing the old Tuscan style of the house with a French touch. I focused especially on materials, textures and colours.
