Presentation of Paola Navone

October 8. 11:00

The works of one of the most popular designers of our time are characterised by the colourful mixture of different cultures, dynamic forms and female softness. The world of objects she experienced during her trips in the Far East, the racy of the soil aspect of natural materials and the eventuality of artisan methods have inspired her to create collections that retain human touch even in large-scale industry production. For making it all real she has cooperated with leading brands like Cappellini, Driade, Gervasoni, Molteni or even Baxter. The outstanding furniture and accessories of their collections do not only reinterpret the concept of the exotic, but carry the elemental energy of ancient powers. Navone holds a degree in architecture and has proven to be in a class by herself as a designer of objects and interiors, as well as a decorator and a curator. Her English language presentation is an exceptional experience for everyone interested in design.
