Silvana Barbato Studio Atelier

Silvana Barbato Studio Atelier is an interior design studio in the historic centre of Varese, at via San Martino 12, opened in 2015 by Silvana Barbato. Barbato graduated in industrial design from the Politecnico di Milano in 1999 and worked in Milan studios including Cibic&Partners Albera&Monti, Luca Scacchetti and Brusa Pasquè before opening her own practice in Milan in 2005 with architect Ferlazzo Natoli.

The studio designs interiors for private villas and residences, shops, restaurants and offices, following a project from the study of the layout and the systems to finishes, custom furniture and lighting, and accompanying clients into showrooms to compare materials. Custom pieces are drawn when needed, and the atelier also hosts exhibitions and events. In 2015 Barbato co-founded Varese Design Week with three colleagues.
