Serena Papait

Serena Papait was born in Portogruaro, near Venice, in 1985, where she took her teacher-training diploma while joining collective exhibitions in the area. In 2004 she enrolled in Industrial Design at the University Institute of Architecture of Venice, IUAV, and an internship in the technical studio of the lighting company Foscarini turned her attention to light.

That interest opened a parallel field of research in photography, followed with the guidance of her teacher Paolo Morello. Papait graduated in 2007 and began working as a freelance designer with the architect Enrico Franzolini and with companies including Foscarini, Karboxx, Morosini, Disguincio and Quadrifoglio Group. She also owns Centro Stile, a beauty company, and works from Portogruaro on seating and lighting projects.
