Francesca Franceschi is an Italian visual artist and textile designer based in Amsterdam.

Working with hand-tufted textiles, drawing and sculptural domestic objects, her practice moves between art and design, exploring colour, repetition and surface as tools to shape perception and emotional atmosphere. In her work, the textile becomes the environment, and the pattern unfolds into volume.

Born and raised in Rome, Franceschi carries a sharp awareness of power, vulnerability, and how environments shape human experience. Her perspective is informed by feminism, not as a position, but as a way of moving through the world. Attentive to bodies, presence and the emotional qualities of space.

Before focusing fully on her artistic practice, she spent over a decade designing textiles and prints for international fashion collections. Those years built a fluency in colour, scale and rhythm, but also clarified a deeper need. To work beyond decoration, using surface as structure and material as a way of holding space.

Her visual language is deeply influenced by electronic music, dance and collective experience. These are not references, but underlying forces. Repetition becomes rhythm, colour becomes pulse, and textile surfaces act as perceptual environments that shift with movement, light and proximity.

Through Studio Superfluo, Franceschi develops works that explore how colour, texture and domestic forms can shape emotional and spatial experience, bringing intensity, softness and resonance into everyday life.
