From metal to wood
- • Francesco learned mostly from master artisans
- • His work ranges from classic to minimalist style
- • He aims at saving tradition by updating it
After a few years as a metalworker, Francesco Crippa fell in love with wood, a living matter. He learned the craft as an apprentice in many workshops in Brianza, north of Italy. In 2006 he started his own business as a woodcarver, both designing his unique pieces and making commissions. He also executes prototypes for interior designers, architects, furniture firms, and he restores antiques. While preserving the well-rooted tradition of ornamental woodcarving, Francesco’s work ranges from a classic style to modern, even minimalist shapes and innovative solutions. Through what he calls objects-symbols, he aims at communicating with the contemporary world.
