Serena Confalonieri

Serena is an indipendent designer and art director based in Milano. She works on product, graphic and textile design projects and collaborates with many italian and international companies. Her works are placed in-between product and graphic design: an accurate research on the surfaces is always present in her projects. After a Master Degree in Interior Design, she started her career working in many architecture and design practices in Milano, Barcelona and Berlin, and collaborating with the Interior Design Faculty of Politecnico di Milano as assistant professor.

In 2013 she makes her debut at Milano Design Week with her Flamingo rug, produced by Nodus. She has been the art director of design brands and realized many site specific set-ups and installations on behalf of the Municipality of Milan, Archiproducts, Marmomac Fair, and the San Siro Milan Hippodrome on the occasion of the “Leonardo Horse Project”.

During the years she’s been selected for several design residencies and workshops both in Italy and abroad (USA, Mexico, Portugal). Her projects have been featured in many important publications and trade magazines (The New York Times, Corriere della Sera, Il Sole 24 ore, Wallpaper, Interni, Ottagono, L’Officiel, Elle Decor…); also, she has received prestigious awards including two Honorable Mentions at the Young&Design Awards 2014 and at the German Design Awards 2016. Her works have been exhibited in important locations such as La Triennale di Milano and Rossana Orlandi gallery.
