“I am an intuitive designer.” Francesca draws inspiration from the classical forms and global culture she was surrounded by in her early life abroad.  Rich textural surfaces blend with seemingly ancient forms.  Her designs are also rooted in the natural world; where her eye is drawn to the small, overlooked folds of the nature, the intricacies of a fern, details in a weathered stalk of a dahlia—the underpinnings of life that are formed into modern shapes.
