Balzano’s Palazzo Collection draws inspiration from the architectural elegance of Italian palazzos, reinterpreting their grandeur through a minimalist lens. Each work is conceived as a micro-architecture, echoing the spatial grandeur of palazzos while maintaining a contemporary minimalist ethos. The collection pays particular homage to the historical legacy of Art Deco in Italian design, celebrating streamlined forms, luxurious materials, and geometric ornamentation through minimalist, cubist compositions

The works echo the monumental facades and symmetrical layouts of palazzo architecture, translating their architectural vocabulary into sculptural furniture. Clean lines and orthogonal volumes evoke the structured elegance of Art Deco architecture, while subtle color palettes reference the refinement of these historic interiors. The works exhibit a disciplined restraint, allowing the geometric compositions to assert their presence without overwhelming the space. By juxtaposing contrasting materials, the collection achieves a layered depth that recalls the intricate facades and spatial configurations of historic palazzos, yet remains resolutely modernist

The architectural rigor, clean lines, and cubist compositions also recall Piet Mondrian’s exploration of geometric abstraction. Each piece showcases a meticulous balance of form and function, a harmonious interplay of textures and surfaces. The result is a collection that bridges the historical and the contemporary, celebrating the timeless appeal of geometric abstraction through masterful craftsmanship and refined composition

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. 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 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 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
