Biography
Gallery Fumi was established in 2008 by Sam Pratt and Valerio Capo. It focuses on high-level, conceptually and aesthetically audacious designers and artists; each one encompassing the value of craftsmanship, traditional techniques and innovative technologies. Objects are usually handmade by the designer in a small workshop. Many use traditional techniques such as carving, glassblowing, cabinetry, lacquering, and meticulous hand assemblage.The directors have built enduring creative relationships with institutions, interior designers and collectors alike, and have gained a reputation for applying a very personal and original touch in their selection and curation. They marry a close understanding of the potential of their designers with a keen knowledge of the market to commission exclusive, low-volume, limited edition works.The gallery runs an ambitious programme of exhibitions alongside a presence at international design fairs.
