About Me

Her professional career includes packaging design, advertising and marketing, corporate image, and web development. In 2020, as a result of the pandemic, she began to investigate other areas, like furniture and fiber art, she created Paola Mondolfi Design Lab, where she works with recycled furniture, objects abandoned in time, which may have been damaged or mistreated due to their circumstances during the years of their life, and through the intervention they can be recovered, creating new stories.
