AboutFrom Sketches to Spaces: Benedetta’s Journey
As a child, Benedetta would spend summers with her grandparents in Fabriano, Italy—a UNESCO designated “creative city.” Their home was filled with hand-painted plates, intricate tapestries, paintings, and bespoke furniture.
Her design journey is also a heartfelt tribute to her grandparents' enduring legacy. Benedetta used to watch her grandmother sew while she drew at her side. Her grandparents would tell her that her drawings were Piccole Opere d’Arte (small art pieces).
Benedetta spent years travelling and exploring design in all its forms. She worked with creative directors, fashion designers, surface designers, sculptors, and others at celebrated ateliers like Fendi, Liz Claiborne. RED Valentino, DKNY Jeans and Ines di Santo.
Benedetta is a graduate of Ryerson University in Toronto, Domus Academy in Milan and Wales university in UK. Now her work can be found in beautiful homes around the world transforming spaces one house at the time.
“ When you change a client’s interior their mood shifts, as does the way they come home.”
Anna Covanti, an extraordinary embroiderer and grandmother
Born Anna Crocetti in 1920, she was educated by nuns who taught her age-old embroidery techniques. She went on to become an artisanal textile embroiderer, creating one-of-a-kind pieces for markets in Venice, Rome, and Florence. These unique pieces would take her several months to complete. When her four granddaughters grew up, she gifted them each a box of handmade textiles—representing her vision of textiles as art. Anna had a sweet spot for durable linen and passed on to Benedetta her love for enduring quality in all things.
