CAPRI’S GENIUS WITH
FRANCESCO DELLA FEMINA Francesco della Femina, Architect, class of 1966, with an eclectic and creative spirit. He is original, modern but at the same time rich of refined mediterranean taste natural of his home, Capri. Capri inspires the shapes and the purity of the lines that define his works. “Capri Architecture, and in general all Mediterranean architecture, has always fascinated me, it’s an architecture without architects made by farmers and fishermen, with elemental volumes built with wisdom, and made of complex compositions, and unexpected solutions; it is an organic architecture has taught me so much, a sort of archaic meter with which I can measure even the most modern project.” His designing skills have evolved in the years, creating villas and interiors for an international clientele: bespoke furniture, unique pieces personalised to the requirements of the clients.
This continuous experimentation has launched him in the industry of furniture and home accessory design, after having been noted growingly by the press and the media, he has presented his first furniture collection in 2014, which has immediately been extremely successful. Linear elements are geometrically composed with different symmetries or asymmetries building elegant and lightweight structures, that take the shape of chairs, tables, lamps, candelabras…. Francesco checks personally each step of the production made by skilled artisans that guarantee an impeccable execution.

Sophia Passerini interior Collection Sophia Passerini’s first collection of furniture embodies her passion for fine craftsmanship along with her attention for details. Her creations leverage her knowledge of specific materials and finishes into pieces that are extremely contemporary but still give a sense of timelessness through their simplicity and clean lines. Created with the aim of providing sleek lines to each furniture piece her effort to clean and simplify is seen throughout the collection including the Riva coffee table, that considering that it is made from a single marble piece still provides a sense of lightness and simplicity. Each piece has the name of a place or a detail of the city of Venice, where she grew up and returns as much as she can, to restore her connection to her own roots. Made by skilled artisans in Italy, all pieces of this collection can be custom finished and can be made in different dimensions.
