Ilaria Bianchi Bowls and Baskets

Ilaria Bianchi is an Italian award-winning product and furniture designer, based in Milan, Italy. She works for design studios, galleries, companies and private clients. She started her practice in 2015, after receiving her degree in industrial design at the Polytechnic of Turin and an MA degree in ceramic, furniture and jewelry design at Central Saint Martins, in London, England. Bianchi's work, which uses a multi-disciplinary approach, ranges from industrial design to unique pieces to installations. Her works are shown in galleries, cultural centers and international fairs, such as the “Victoria & Albert Museum, Triennale di Milano, MiArt, Stockholm Design Fair, London Design Fair, Salone del Mobile” and many others. Her Duo Shelf project is one of the WallPaper* 2018 Design Award winners. In 2017, Bianchi was selected as one of the 100 ambassadors of Italian design, for the Italian Design Day event, promoted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. She's also included in the "Under 35 Italian Design" exhibition, at Triennale di Milano. In 2016, she founded The Ladies' Room collective with Agustina Bottoni, Astrid Luglio, and Sara Ricciardi. Their work began as a co-operation for observing contemporary design, by creating artifacts and experiences that are the engine of discussion on the renewed need for sensory involvement.
