Fabio
Novembre
Milan, Italy
Fabio Novembre was born in Lecce in 1966 and graduated in Architecture at
Politecnico di Milano in 1992. One year later, he moved to New York where he
studied cinema. Fabio opened his studio in 1994 which became immediately
an international reference for architecture and design, thanks to the strong
expressiveness and iconicity of the sign.
Over the years he collaborated with the most important Italian design companies
and his work has been recognized and published worldwide for his visionary
approach. From 2019, Fabio Novembre is Artistic Director of Driade, Scientific
Director of Domus Academy and member of the scientific committee of Design
Museum Triennale di Milano.
Fabio Novembre makes his debut in the Villari collection with the vase-sculpture
NOBODY, an object of great expressive force. A quadruple mask with enigmatic
features, which through the reinterpretation of classic imagery urges us to
rediscover ourselves.
“Seeking faces in which to reflect our own is a natural condition to foster self-
awareness, to trigger processes of empathy and mutual growth. This tendency has
led to Nobody, a porcelain visage that multiplies in the four cardinal directions to
offer a gaze to anyone who seeks it.” – Fabio Novembre
