Francesco Faccin (Milan, 1977) explores design across industrial, independent, community, and gallery work, believing in design without boundaries. After working with Enzo Mari and learning cabinet-making with Francesco Rivolta, he opened his own studio in 2007. Faccin has won awards such as the Design Report Award (2010) and an honorable mention at the Compasso D’Oro (2015). He directed Fonderia Artistica Battaglia (2014–2016) and presented Honey Factory at Expo2015. Faccin is also a professor at various universities. In 2018 he begins his collaboration with the Gallery with Anonimo Contemporaneo, a project that starts from the popular anonymous chair, the Romanella, to reflect on the idea of the archetype.
