Stefania Di Petrillo

Stefania Di Petrillo is an Italian designer, scenographer and art director who has lived and worked in Paris for twenty-five years. She studied industrial design at the Politecnico di Milano and spent a year at ENSCI–Les Ateliers before settling in the French capital, where her studio now sits in the 14th arrondissement.

Her work moves between objects, lighting and sets, often starting from a found object or a shift of meaning: the Torsade chandelier for Saint-Louis, pieces for Hermès petit h, projects for the Comédie-Française and the Japanese publisher Bunaco. Colour and material are handled with appetite, in a language that treats everyday things as exceptional pieces.
