Fabrizio Constanza is an observer of life. His inspiration comes from emotions generated by anything. By watching life passing by, from reflections of the world, past nostalgia and future cues, Fabrizio captures and materialize the emotions into objects. A clear example is 0710 Oxbow, based on the Baltimore derby winner. Objects become transmitters of emotions. A table that elegantly represents the human body named Organica, or a coat stand with slick curves for the corporate world, simply known as Lande, are exquisite samples. Balanced compositions define his work, objects that will overcome the past time. Fabrizio harmoniously combines classic and contemporary materials with ergonomic details to create pieces that will be enjoyed by generations to come. “I design for today, but thinking on how future generations will enjoy a beautiful piece of functional art with the history of its first user”.
