Ricardo Fasanello Brazil, 1930-1993

Biography

Ricardo Fasanello was born in São Paulo in 1930 and began to demonstrate his talent at a young age, designing and building a sailboat at the age of 14, and at 18 he already built lofts of his own.

 

Young Dandy, chasing emotion and speed, he almost lost his life after violently hitting his Porsche Spyder 550 on the road from São Paulo to Rio de Janeiro.

 

After meeting his future wife, Countess Olivia Tarnowska, Ricardo slowed down and moved to a bohemian neighborhood in Rio. There he spent his days between his exotic pets and his passion for life, designing and building race cars.

 

Functionality and use of handmade tools in the execution of an industrial design are the trademarks of Fasanello furniture. His work mixes unmistakable Brazilian aesthetics with cool sophistication.

 

The truly creative work carried out by Atelier reflects the solutions that arise during the production of a piece. The artist shows an incomparable ability to harmonize contrasts while making use of his technical knowledge of the materials to extract the best results from them.

 

His spiral mind conceived armchairs of round shapes that rotate to induce the art of conversation.
