Jacopo Foggini calls himself an explorer who retraces art and design, going beyond the limits imposed by the conventions of those disciplines. The extraordinary evocative capacity of his works harmoniously combines refined poetic sensibility with the revolutionary use of a very common material usually applied to produce reflectors for automobiles: methacrylate. After his debut in 1997 with an installation in the space of Romeo Gigli, the successful career of Jacopo Foggini has continued with the publication of a book on his artistic production, and the insertion of his luminous sculptures in the permanent collections of prestigious institutions like the Haus der Musik of Vienna, the Museum of Decorative Arts of Montreal and the Gandhi Museum in Delhi. In recent years the light creations of Foggini have been shown in over sixty exhibitions, in galleries and art spaces around the world, including: the Carrousel du Louvre, the Centre Georges Pompidou and the Atelier Richelieu in Paris, the Royal College of Art and Sotheby's in London, the Galerie Karsten Greve in Cologne. In 2006 he created the theater chandelier for the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics in Turin. 2007 was the year of “Aurora Boreale”, the monumental project with which he celebrated ten years of work at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan. In October that same year he participated at the Design Biennial of Gwangju, Korea, with an installation that was a tribute to his main source of inspiration: the sea. Foggini collaborates with architecture studios, and his works are designed for architecture, hotels, museums, exhibition spaces, private residences and public venues.

At present he is working on a range of projects in Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Hungary, England, the United States, China, United Arab Emirates and Hong Kong.
