Authentic Italian craftsmanship in a modern international setting is the hallmark of Fausto Pupolin's interiors. Working with a network of local artisans and skilled specialists in everything from mosaics to joinery in his native region of north-eastern Italy, he has created his own characteristic style based on a blend of traditional materials crafted for a contemporary environment. Fausto was born in 1956 near Udine in Friuli Venezia Giulia and after high school studied at the Venice Institute of Architecture. After graduation and national military service in the Italian airforce, he went on to work for two of Italy’s foremost architects: Vittorio Gregotti in Milan and Marcello D’Olivo in Rome. In both studios he was involved in large scale projects such as town planning and major structures. His interests include in food, wine and cookery (especially of the Veneto and Friuli), and his favourite travel destinations are New York, London, the countryside of Cornwall and Scotland and the islands of Croatia.
