Emilia Tombolesi is an Italian designer based in London whose practice is deeply rooted in material exploration.
Her creative process begins with a fascination for a specific material, leading to hands-on experimentation that pushes the boundaries of how it can be worked and transformed.

Her work is defined by the tension between control and unpredictability: the precision of the maker meets the natural behaviour of the material. Rather than conceal traces of the process, she embraces marks and imperfections as essential elements, allowing each object to narrate its own making.

Balancing innovation and functionality with a sculptural sensibility, Tombolesi creates objects that are quietly expressive yet full of personality—pieces that invite both use and contemplation.
