Fernando Mosca
I describe my approach as making “style statements” because every project and every space are the fruit of my own personal, well-defined method of interpretation. Despite the fact that all my work differs aesthetically and functionally, my projects convey the same kind of vibrations and emotions to the people who experience them.
These are the intense sensations most often captured from the Client’s deepest desires as they emerge during our meetings. I discover these treasures and search for their meaning, in order to transform them, almost alchemically, into ideas that are turned into projects and then become concrete reality.
I define myself a “craftsman of IDEAS” and I dedicate the utmost intensity and quality of my time to this initial phase of the project. I am a kind of architectural storyteller, travelling the world and leaving my mark through projects, while providing an eclectic narrative of specific places.
I consider my Italo-Argentine origins to be the source of my creative expression.
Energy and enthusiasm, rich colors and the power of nature and climate, added to my personal experiences, make up the color palette of my creative approach.
When I arrived in Milan in 1986, I started working with Carmellini & Magnoli’s LABORATORIO ASSOCIATI and that’s where I learned my craft;, they were my real teachers.I spent eight years with them working with Gianni Versace, both designing and visiting worksites around the world. This was my true initiation into the Italian fashion system,where I was inundated by a wealth of creative notions, typical of an exquisitely sartorial way of approaching any type of project. The diverse and varied influences of that period steered my creative approach towards a bright, refined and totally spatial style, which took on its definitive form when I opened my studio in Milan in 1994.
