a capsule collection of handcrafted sculptural vases with glazed geometric tops inspired by ancient Greece, premiered at Salone Satellite during the 2024 edition of Salone del Mobile.Milano.
a collection of tufted rugs made from New Zealand wool. The primary inspiration comes from the collage technique on paper: the irregular shapes and layering typical of the artistic process are reinterpreted through the play of pile heights, creating a three-dimensional effect of chromatic overlays. These rugs become tactile and visual works, suitable for floor placement or wall display, transforming into statement pieces with a sculptural impact.
a collection of furnishing fabrics that combines architectural rigor and chromatic sensitivity, creating visually impactful surfaces. Born from a fruitful dialogue between design, art, and textile manufacturing, this collection is specifically designed for the contract and hospitality sectors. “Trame Grafiche” merges refined aesthetics and the necessary functionality for public spaces, making it ideal for environments that demand both beauty and practicality.
This exhibition offers an in-depth view of Elisa Passino’s creative capabilities, highlighting her skill in translating complex concepts into tangible creations that enhance any space.

Born in Venice and after studying Fashion & Textile Design in Milan, Passino honed her skills working with creative directors and color experts before joining the product development department of one of Italy’s leading textile companies.
In 2015, she moved to Lisbon, where she deepened the dialogue between artisanal productions and aesthetic innovation in design.
In 2019, she founded her studio and launched “Geometrie Componibili,” a collection of ceramic tiles inspired by the tradition of Portuguese azulejos, which won the Best of the Year Award from Interior Design Magazine in New York in 2020, securing her recognition internationally.
Since then, Elisa has collaborated with international brands on product design, surface design, and color consulting, and through careful analysis of production processes and the expressive possibilities of materials and techniques, she reinterprets decorative traditions in a contemporary key, creating collections with a strong identity, characterized by an essential and sophisticated visual language, where color becomes structure and geometry its narrative code.
