Benedetta Dosa is a designer and visual artist based in Paris and in Rome.
She graduated in visual arts at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome and at NABA in Milan. She’s actually attending her M2 in Art Design and New Luxury at Creapole-ESDI in Paris.
Considering objects as living and intimate participants of our lives, her approach is based on a search for joy and wonder in everyday life. Her practice was forged through several years of multidisciplinary superior studies between Italy and France that gave her a diverse sensitivity and stylistic maturity.
While focusing on sustainability and écological materials, her projects seek answers to the new needs of contemporary life. Attentive to the social and environmental changes of our time, each of her creations is the result of a research able to synthesize seductive forms and a spirit of versatility and nomadism.
