Kalkeriet Contemporary proudly introduces Pietro Franceschini, an esteemed architect and designer rooted in Milan and New York. Franceschini seamlessly melds a contemporary design lexicon with a classical Italian ethos, resulting in furniture that is both unconventional and profoundly evocative. His creations embody a playful dynamism ensconced within refined, enduring elements, reflecting his quest to harmonize spirited energy with timeless sophistication. As a quintessentially twenty-first-century visionary, Franceschini's work provocatively explores themes of reality, functionality, and digital artifice.
Educated across Italy, Portugal, and the United States, Franceschini earned his B.Arch with honors from the Università degli Studi di Firenze and his M.S.Arch with first-class distinction from Pratt Institute. His career has been enriched by collaborations with prestigious firms such as Leeser Architecture in Brooklyn, Claudio Nardi in Florence, Laisné Roussel in Paris, and Carlo Ratti Associati in New York. In 2020, he established PF|Studio, an innovative practice dedicated to interior and furniture design, marking a pivotal chapter in his creative journey.
