A hypnotic play of light, form, and geometry, Optical Dissuasions I translates Francesco Maccapani Missoni’s exploration of perception into movement and air. Rendered on fine cotton, the composition evokes Missoni’s signature chromatic rhythm, reimagined through Feeria’s craftsmanship.
Hand-assembled from natural Danta-Kotibe wood, this 27 cm hand fan becomes both artwork and accessory, a kinetic expression of balance, illusion, and elegance.
Francesco Maccapani Missoni, son of Angela Missoni, grandson of Rosita and Ottavio Missoni, graduated in architecture from Milan Polytechnic. After years of internships in Milan and New York, he shifted focus from architecture to found startups in digital strategy and venture capital, including Milano Venture Company (2013) and Notomia (2018).
A food enthusiast, he published The Missoni Family Cookbook in 2018 with Assouline. In his art, Francesco weaves strips of colored paper, crafting magnetic canvases that he ’ s exhibited globally, from Istanbul to Miami. Recognized as Designer of the Year at São Paulo Design Week 2023, his work continues to gain acclaim.
