ABOUT

Lucia is a vibrant artist whose work shows a great admiration for cloth and celebrates a mixture of different techniques: machine embroidery, patchwork, discharge dye, layer and appliqué to create volume and shapes, and dyeing. Designing and producing a small line of home textiles for ten years, Lucia’s background includes working as an interior decorator for private houses and yachts, and as a designer for Italian Companies like Fabriano and Zucchi and Art Galleries in Milano and Roma. Working with her preferred fabrics of linen, silk and cotton, she produces a collection of bed and table linens as well as accessories for the home. She began her enthusiastic adventure into shibori many years ago and took part in the first “Slow Fiber Studio” in Japan in 2010. Lucia has a degree in fashion design and four years at Faculty of Architecture.

“In my works you can see my great love for cloth decoration: at the beginning it was an ethnic inspiration, then it became more minimalist, but sometimes it comes from “Barocco”.
