BORN PARIS, FRANCE, 1980

A DESIGNER BASED IN PARIS, BALZANO CREATES MINIMAL, ABSOLUTE, AND TIMELESS FURNITURE, OBJECTS, AND INTERIORS. HE SEEKS TO UNCOVER EMOTIONAL RESONANCE IN THE DIALOGUE BETWEEN SHAPE AND MATERIAL AND REVEAL THE POETRY IN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SCALE, LIGHT, AND SPACE. Balzano’s aesthetic vocabulary draws inspiration from the timeless beauty of venice, Rome, and Florence, where he spent much of his childhood. GUIDED BY THE PRINCIPLE THAT SIMPLICITY IS THE ULTIMATE SOPHISTICATION, BALZANO’S WORK COMBINES NOBLE MATERIALS, PURITY OF LINES, AND HYPER-DETAILED ARCHITECTURAL REFERENCES WITH EVERYDAY FUNCTIONALITY

Dedicated to the highest level of craftsmanship that stands the test of time, Balzano works closely with master artisans at atelier saint-jacques and la societe STRs to create each exquisite work. In strictly limited edition, signed, and numbered, balzano’s finest collections are available exclusively at studiotwentyseven

AFTER STUDYING ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN AT PENNINGHEN, BALZANO JOINED THE FAMED STUDIO OF JOSEPH DIRAND, working on prestigious projects around the world. IN 2018, HE OPENED HIS eponymous atelier WHILE CONTINUING HIS WORK AS AN INTERIOR ARCHITECT
