Claudia Frignani is a Milan based ceramic artist and designer. After completing studies in graphic design, sculpture and photography at Art Institute of Monza, she specialized in illustration for advertising. Realising that was not her ideal career path and wanting to come back to her inner cords, in 1993 with her brother Nik she founded furniture and décor design firm, Wunderkammer Studio. Claudia designs and produces unique pieces and limited editions, with attention to materials, shapes and techniques. Experimenting with surfaces, researching on materials and textures, rediscovering of ancient techniques, wondrous observation of the natural world and an inexhaustible desire to create are the ingredients that give rise to the creation of the furnishings and accessories designed by Claudia Frignani, in a fine balance between art and design. For years Claudia has been presenting collections of furnishings to international audiences, collaborating with architects and interior designers, creating public and private spaces. After exploring her creativity through a variety of materials (castings, metals, concrete, wood, leather, textiles), pottery became a passion in constant evolution. Starting from a block of raw clay, using the ancient technique of “colombino” Claudia creates her vases exclusively by hand. Her inspiration comes from a curious and astonished observation of the natural world, that fascinates her since childhood. Lines, colors, shapes, textures, stolen from nature and processed through her personal and unique search of beauty.
