Jacopo Foggini
Italian designer Jacopo Foggini creates playful modern furniture — he uses industrial materials in novel and exciting ways that frequently break with the constraints of conventional design. His chandeliers, vases and sculptural pieces have an ethereal quality, and each new work merges art and functionalism in rich and interesting ways.
Foggini was born in Turin in 1966. As a young man in the 1990s, he joined the family business in the industrial sector. Ever inventive, he modified a piece of machinery to heat a polymer called methacrylate and make a filament that could be molded with his hands. Foggini used the filament to produce large installations of the colorful spiraling material.
In 1997, Foggini held his first exhibition in the Milan boutique of friend and fashion designer Romeo Gigli. His next major career highlight came in 2006 when he was asked to design the Lampadario da Teatro for the Turin Winter Olympic Games. The chandelier illuminated the stage during a performance by opera singer Luciano Pavarotti. In 2011, he also designed a six-meter diameter matryoshka doll for Moscow Design Week.
One of the most important relationships over the course of Foggini's career has been with furniture manufacturer Edra. Foggini and Edra routinely collaborate on striking tables and chairs, among them the sinuous Capriccio table and the sculptural swivel Ester chair.
Foggini has exhibited at more than 60 venues and galleries all over the world and he has shown his work numerous times at Milan Design Week. He has also designed installations at prestigious hotels, restaurants, theaters and showrooms. Just some of his many projects include the Nhow Hotel in Milan, the Riad Enija Hotel in Marrakech, the Milan Bentley Showroom, the Etro showroom in Istanbul and Vapiano restaurants.
In 2021, Foggini launched the new A’mare collection with Edra at Milan Design Week. A collection of outdoor furniture that sparkles like the surface of the sea, A’mare’s transparent polycarbonate tables and chairs bring color and style out into any garden area or patio space.

- Vertigo Chandelier in Transparent Resin by Jacopo FogginiBy Jacopo FogginiLocated in New York, NYWhile working for the family business, Jacopo Foggini discovered the versatile nature of methacrylate, a material generally used in the production of car reflectors. Enchanted by the aesthetical and chromatic qualities of this thermoplastic resin, similar to glass yet tremendously light, Foggini started experimenting its use since the late ‘90s. With a machine of his own invention, Foggini melted methacrylate, and later polycarbonate, at 200°C transforming it into a filament that he then moulds with his hands creating luminous shapes and monumental artworks: labyrinths of coloured light...Category
