Leni Farenzena
My name is Leni Farenzena, I studied architecture at Florence University (UniFl) and did my master’s degree in architecture at Lisbon University Institute (ISCTE-IUL). After finalizing my studies, I have worked with several ateliers in Europe and Mexico with FR-EE Fernando Romero.
I am the founder of ForNature Design, an atelier focused on project development in the fields of architecture, interior design and furniture.
// Arquitecture
In our projects we strive to preserve the identity of both the place and person to whom we design for, integrating local building techniques and features of the vernacular architecture from the Algarve region. Currently, we are working in a rehabilitation project of fishers’ cubist houses in Olhão.
// Furniture
I started designing furniture for my home, then to interested friends and ended up integrating it in my projects at a professional level. Every single furniture we create is handbuilt by Algarve’s craftsmen. A furniture line was thus born with the pure line design. Crossing local and natural materials with the craftsmanship of those involved in the work contributes to the production of unique pieces.
