Fabio Novembre

Fabio Novembre is a visionary Italian designer renowned for his bold, poetic approach to architecture and design. With a career spanning over three decades, Novembre has built an international reputation for crafting immersive spaces and striking objects that blend artistic expression with functional innovation. This is evident in his collaborations with Kartell, where he has reinterpreted traditional forms into contemporary lighting solutions. The Kartell Pumo Table Lamp, for example, pays homage to Italian heritage, transforming the symbolic Apulian Pumo into a sculptural, light-emitting centrepiece. Similarly, the Kartell Lantern Portable Lamp redefines illumination with its graphic transparency and rechargeable LED technology, merging cutting-edge design with everyday functionality.

At the heart of Novembre’s work is a dedication to pushing the boundaries of materiality and form. His collaborations span across prestigious Italian brands as well as large-scale architectural projects for global companies such as A.C. Milan, Stuart Weitzman, and MediaMarkt. His interiors and installations, demonstrate a meticulous understanding of space, light, and human interaction. Novembre’s ability to merge historical references with futuristic aesthetics has made his designs not just functional objects but immersive experiences.

"Each experience shared with Kartell has the taste of a journey and each project undertaken is a research similar to a Grand Tour through cultural references and windows to the future" - Fabio Novembre
