Daring, eclectic, unconventional, and empathetic. This is Francesca Lanzavecchia's approach to design. Born in Pavia in 1983, she graduated in Industrial Design from the Politecnico di Milano and then attended the Master's program in Conceptual Design at the Design Academy in Eindhoven, where she graduated with honors in 2008. In Eindhoven, her vision of design began to take shape as a prismatic and multifaceted discipline, a universal visual alphabet capable of shaping the existing with poetic and subversive elegance.
For her, being a designer means being a researcher, engineer, artisan, and fabulists of life stories, such as those expressed by her projects. These projects serve as both functional and symbolic extensions of ourselves, carrying with them stories, gestures, and daily rituals that create a personal and emotional connection.
Francesca is a storyteller, a restless aesthete, and a nomadic-inspired designer. In 2010, she co- founded Lanzavecchia + Wai, a multidisciplinary design studio with Hunn Wai. She has been working with Zanotta since 2020.
