Fabio Novembre was born in Lecce. In 1984 he moved to Milan where he graduated in Architecture and opened his own studio in 1994. He is internationally regarded as one of the leading exponents of new Italian design. In 2009, the Triennale Design Museum invited him to design an exhibition on his work entitled “Il fiore di Novembre” (The Flower of November), which was produced by Bitossi in ceramics in the same year.
