Francesco Feliziani’s design experience starts in Italy, where after completing his studies in industrial design, he began designing indoor and outdoor furniture for local companies, sold worldwide.

A move to Australia coincided with him gaining experience within the residential and commercial markets downunder, working closely with Australian design brands and suppliers, as well as overseas clients and manufacturers, inlcuding working in-house for brands such as: Koskela, Woven Image, Koala and Totem Road.

His inspiration comes from memory, nature, culture, and the strive to improve on the status quo; with the common thread of a continuous research for the emotional connection that well designed products create with their users.

“The ongoing ambition to bring beauty and function together, to depict a narrative that is about well made and thoughtfully designed; to craft objects that are cherished in time.”

Over the years, Francesco has worked on projects that have been recognised with awards such as

Good Design Award (Koala - 2021, 2023),

Dezeen Award (Woven Image - 2020), 

FX Award (Woven Image - 2020).
