About

BottegaNera was born in 2023 in the heart of Brianza, from a branch of a historic artisan company specialized in the creation of custom-made furniture in Cantu', the capital of artistic furniture production.

It reflects the artistic path and thought of its creator, who passes from studies at the Academy of Fine Arts of Brera, and continues through the comparison with painting, analyzed in several personal and collective exhibitions, up to the production of fine pieces unique furnishing accessories, with the collaboration of expert craftsmen and professionals in the sector. BottegaNera's work is the result of tireless obsessive experimentation on materials and surfaces, in constant contact with customers and interior designers. Thus, works are born that blend together painting and sculpture, innovation and tradition, which only the know-how in possession can develop.

The visions of different worlds thus dialogue, giving life to dreamlike images, as of environments inherited from afar and aimed at an unknown future.
