Emilia Tombolesi

Emilia Tombolesi is an Italian designer based in London whose practice explores material behaviour through hands-on experimentation. Her work balances control and unpredictability, embracing process marks and imperfections as part of each object’s narrative. After graduating from Istituto Marangoni in 2024 with a BA in Product Design, she debuted at the London Design Festival 2025 in two group shows curated by Charlotte Taylor and Slancha Gallery. Her work has been featured in Dezeen, Wallpaper*, Living – Corriere della Sera, and Adorno. Her work blends sculptural presence with functional design and a raw, poetic sensibility.
