Sara Ricciardi, born in 1989, is a versatile designer based in Milan. She studied in Milan, Istanbul and New York, taking a degree in Product Design in 2015 at NABA-Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti in Milan. Four years ago, she opened her own studio where she designs products for companies, one-offs for galleries, performances and installations. Her approach stands out for in-depth narrative exploration: every aesthetic choice is the result of a specific story. Form follows message. Her method is based on extensive poetic and formal research. Materials and types of workmanship are established case by case with the help of outstanding Italian artisans. She teaches relational design and co-design practices at NABA and Domus Academy, courses in which projects of urban regeneration are activated, and conducts international workshops on Design Thinking. She is an exceptional collector of bizarre objects.
