Valentina Carretta

Born in Treviso in 1981, Valentina graduated from the Politecnico di Milano in 2006, after an experience of study at the Bauhaus University of Weimar. In 2005, she began the collaboration with the Fabrica Design Department, currently directed by Sam Baron.
Since 2008, besides her experience at Fabrica, she has been running her personal work as a freelance designer, dealing mainly with product design, interior design and art direction. Her projects include collaborations with brands such as Seletti, Roche Bobois, Bosa, Miniforms and Fabrica Features, as well as limited editions pieces for Zanotta, Galleria Secondome and Granville Gallery.
In June 2012 the Italian Chair District (based in Manzano, Udine) assigned her to art direct the second edition of the Italian Workshop Design (www.italian-workshop-design.it), for which she curated the exhibition design and the program.
Her designs have been exhibited internationally at the Triennale di Milano, Gardiner Museum (Toronto), MAD Museum (New York) , MUDAC (Lausanne) and at the Paris and Milano Furniture Fairs.
Her work is intended to be a language that investigates daily habits, customs and memories.
