Designers We Love: Ricardo Fasanello

Few designers understood the emotional weight of form the way Ricardo Fasanello did. His pieces don’t just occupy space — they transform it. They bring presence, tension, and an almost sculptural sensuality that you feel the moment you walk into the room.

What moves me most about his work is how he shaped hard materials into something undeniably human. Leather, steel, fiberglass — in his hands, they become fluid. Soft. Almost alive. The Fardos, the Gaivota, the Anel, the iconic rounded silhouettes — all carry that signature balance between strength and grace.

In this space, his designs do exactly what they were meant to do: ground the room with warmth, curve, and character. Amid dark cabinetry and clean architectural lines, the sculpted forms in natural leather feel like breathing shapes — bold yet welcoming, contemporary yet timeless.

Fasanello teaches me that design is never just about function. It’s about material intuition — the courage to mold, to experiment, to let the hand lead the idea. His pieces remind us that beauty lives where craft meets emotion.

His work is a testament to the idea that beauty is born when technique and emotion meet. A reminder that curves can be both structure and poetry, and that design — when honest — becomes timeless.
