Young Dandy, chasing emotion and speed, he almost lost his life after violently hitting his Porsche Spyder 550 on the road from São Paulo to Rio de Janeiro. After meeting his future wife, Countess Olivia Tarnowska, Ricardo slowed down and moved to a bohemian neighborhood in Rio. There he spent his days between his exotic pets and his passion for life, designing and building race cars. Functionality and use of handmade tools in the execution of an industrial design are the trademarks of Fasanello furniture. His work mixes unmistakable Brazilian aesthetics with cool sophistication.
