Francesca Borelli
Italy
Francesca Borelli was born in Rome and earned her undergraduate degree in Product Design from the Istituto Europeo di Design (IED) in Rome.
Borelli became interested in design as a young girl when she would accompany her mother to her architectural studio, discovering a sense of tranquility and creativity and awakening her passion. She played with rulers, set squares, and colors, and above all spent most of the time staring at an enormous poster that showed chairs of every kind, drawing her own crooked and impossible versions.
For as much as she can define herself in the field of design, what Francesca Borelli has thus far discovered is that she has a propensity for furniture design that is both emotional and conceptual.
