Fabio Novembre, born in 1966, is an architect and designer. He grew up in the southern Italian city of Lecce and later studied architecture in Milan. Then in November 1993 moved to New York to study directing there. Instead, he discovered his design talent, worked in Hong Kong and, on his return to Italy, opened his own studio in Milan. Since 2001 Novembre has been concentrating more on the design of furniture. In the Italian design scene, Novembre soon established himself as a provocateur who played with Christian symbols. He often appeared disguised as Jesus and also attracted a lot of attention with his daring designs. He worked as a product designer and interior designer for many internationally renowned companies such as Casamania and Driade and is now a star of the global design scene.
