Francesco Piccinonna

Multidisciplinary designer, 26. Material research, living materials, circular systems.

I hold a Master's Degree in Product Design from Iuav University of Venice, and a Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Design from the Polytechnic University of Bari.

My research focuses on the exploration of materials and their role within production and environmental systems. I develop strategic design projects oriented toward sustainability and high performance, deepening the relationship between object, material, and geo-cultural context.

Recent work centres on mycelium-based composites and the design of replicable production processes for living materials.
