Bio
FRANCESCA PERANI (born in Bergamo - Italy, in 1972) graduated in architecture from Politecnico di Milano in 1999 with studies held in Australia and Belgium. She cooperated with design and project studios in Australia, UK and Italy. Among her mentors are Enzo Mari and Russel Hall. She is an architect and designer, her work ranges from interior architecture to interactive design, art direction and ilustration. Since 2007 she owns and runs Francescaperanienterprise studio. From 2011 to 2013 she co-owned Spectacularch. Since 2011 she lectures on International Interior Design courses at IED. Istituto Europeo di Design Milan. Her work has been internationally published; she was awarded a special mention at the international competition Young Designer Adam’o Eva 2008 and was recently a team winner at Biennale Interieur in Kortrijik in Belgium with the bistrobar design DriedChatroom. In 2016 she earned the second place in MOMOWO's International photographic competition.
DESIGN PROCESS Her act of design is based on experimentation and research. She manipulates with dexterity both irony and willful breaking with obvious patterns to represent unusual spaces and to stimulate new interactions. She expresses herself through objects, surfaces and graphics with a strong communicativeemotional charge. Craftsmanship and technology become inseparable elements defining a project. She complements her profession with the compulsive use of photography to document “the everyday design”. DEMOCRATIZING ARCHITECTURE promoting EQUALITY & INCLUSION In 2012 she was elected vice-president of Ordine degli Architetti (Architecture Association), Bergamo branch; where she coordinated and cofounded the Archidonne (women architect) association. Since 2017 she is curating, togheter with 16 creatives, the Architette = Women Architects no-profit cultural project, promoting women's work in the architecture profession. Currently working on Cutoutmix, an open source platform of illustrations delivering a more inclusive and diverse world of free cutouts for the architecture community.
