ZOUGANISTA DI MOCHIZUKI TAKAFUMI

Born in Tokyo on 16 December 1979, Mochizuki Takafumi has lived in Florence since 2007. In 2008, at Master restorer Renato Olivastri's workshop, he learnt the art of antique furniture restoration and wood inlay. In 2014, he opened a workshop in San Frediano, where he practises the technique of marquetry, not only to make classic furniture items, but also other types of furnishings that present curvilinear patterns, such as shapes for shoes and hats, lamps, hangers for clothes and more, creating unique and special artefacts.
