Francesca Frau

  • Decorative drop-forged hand-crafted iron cowbells, hanging from a bundle of many-coloured threads. This is the main symbol of Sardinian tradition and culture, used as simple decorations, still with great visual impact.

  • This iron hand-made plate features a relief motif obtained by using a welder as a decoration tool. It is available in different sizes, motifs and colours, with a gold or silver foil finish.

  • This iron hand-made lamp features an essential line, an engraving and an original chromatic gold or silver foil finishing. This lamp is part of the Pintadera collection, that includes lights and accessories.

  • Crafted with evident technical mastery, these curtain rods in wrought iron have ends that are sculpted and depict different subjects, straight or curled, invariably characterised by unique manufacture and stylistic value.

  • Exquisite and refined, this wall light in wrought iron with long and sinuous curly arms has four lights, decorated with individually hammered leaves which create evocative diffused lighting. Entirely handcrafted, it can be combined with other coordinated lighting and furnishing elements.

The artisan

Original and powerfu, Francesca Frau is a young craftswoman who passionately keeps alive the wrought iron making family tradition. Her style is experimental and its creations are the result of a combination of aesthetics and functionality, with a care for details and procedures. With regards to specific needs, Francesca involves the customer since the design stage, to craft the perfect object for the desired architectural context. She participates in the most important of artistic handicraft events of Sardinia by exchanging collaborations with several master artisans on the island.

The collection

Much of her metal production is dedicated to furnishing accessories for indoor and outdoor use. Each piece is thought, designed and crafted in order to characterize the living spaces, in different styles and contexts. Her productions range from single pieces to coordinated series, designed to provide a continuity of style in all spaces.

The technique

Francesca Frau creates and manufactures all her products, starting from drawings and sketches, that she shares with her clients. Her projects are carried out through the use of ancient techniques such as forging, flaming and metal engraving, and include both simple and complex creations.
