The NUDI Collection by Francesco Balzano is a return to an original state of form, one stripped of ornament, narrative, and artifice. NUDI proposes objects reduced to their essential presence, where matter is freed from the superfluous and allowed to exist in direct relation to light, space, and the body

To be nudi is to inhabit a condition of attentive, silent nakedness. In this state, form becomes language and simplicity gains depth. Each work in the collection is composed through elemental geometries and measured proportions, guided not by stylistic gesture but by balance, gravity, and restraint. The vocabulary is minimal yet charged, relying on the quiet authority of mass, Material, and scale

the works suggest fragments of architecture reduced to their core logic. Supports and planes are simplified until only necessity remains, evoking primordial columns, plinths, or bodies at rest. Each work holds a tension between solidity and vulnerability, monumentality and intimacy, asserting a quiet, powerful presence that invites us to let go of distraction and return to our essential humanity

Material is central to Balzano’s philosophy of exposure. Executed in White Onyx, Grey Marble, and Green Marble, the collection allows stone to reveal its inner life. Veining, fragmentation, translucency, and density move across surfaces, animating the reduced geometry with natural rhythm. Surfaces are finished with restraint, preserving the character and tactile presence of stone

Handcrafted in France by Atelier Saint Jacques, the NUDI Collection offers sculptural works as pure presence, where form, material, and light are allowed to speak without mediation, offering a grounded sense of calm in a tumultuous world

FRANCESCO BALZANO

Francesco Balzano

Born Paris, France, 1979

An artist 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 to 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 line, and hyper-detailed architectural references with everyday functionality. With a sense of exquisite tension—between classical forms and contemporary ingenuity, serene nature and innovative urbanity, timeliness and timelessness—his work holds an enigmatic complexity within a deceptively simple aesthetic, inviting the viewer to discover personal and multifaceted meanings

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. Each piece is created in a strictly limited edition, signed, and numbered

After studying architecture and design at Penninghen, Balzano joined the famed studio of Joseph Dirand, working on prestigious projects around the world. He has been recognized multiple times as one of AD France’s 100 Best Designers. In 2018 he opened his eponymous atelier and started designing custom and limited editions of furniture, while continuing his work as an interior designer for private clients at After Bach, which he founded in 2020. In 2023, he created the photographic collective Sogno Studio, an experimental project on contemporary photographic dialogues. In 2024, he launched Sattio Studio, a new collaborative project in unique and resolutely contemporary furniture, where he serves as artistic director

Balzano’s debut New York solo exhibition, Inizio, opened at STUDIOTWENTYSEVEN New York Gallery in 2024. An investigation of the origin of things, Inizio comprises two series of works that epitomize the artist’s values and vision: rooted in simplicity, craftsmanship, and the use of exceptional materials, they are meditative and playful explorations of intimacy and monumentality. In 2025, Balzano was awarded a prestigious residency at the Villa Medici with the Fondation Bettencourt Schueller
