Paola Navone is the exception in the otherwise male- dominated Italian design elite. Architect, interior designer, product designer and art director with a wide list of projects for hotels, restaurants and public spaces in South East Asia, the United States, Italy, France and around the world. Her approach is direct, visionary and eclectic with a passion for colours of the much-loved and much-travelled southern hemisphere, alongside tastes and styles from the western world with its wealth of tradition, open mindedness and creative energy. Navone’s design is unique, blending elements of traditional craftsmanship with contemporary aesthetics to create a style that is distinctly her own.
