Biography
Background
Eliana Gerotto is a designer from Venice. She obtained her diploma in Communication Techniques in Milan, worked as a graphic designer for the Parisian magazine Elle and for the Venice Biennale, and co-operates with major Italian brands as an image and product consultant.
Signature Style
Her work ranges from interior furnishings to product design and graphics, and even jewellery. Foscarini describes her as a creative entrepreneur drawn to ever-differing professional experiences.
Notable Works
With Patricia Urquiola she designed Caboche for Foscarini (2005), a lamp born from the wish to make a light as precious as a bracelet, reinterpreting the classic plate glass chandelier with transparent spheres. The family now includes suspension, ceiling, wall, table and floor versions, restyled as Caboche Plus.
Legacy
Foscarini records that Caboche was immediately a best-seller and calls it an icon in the world of designer lighting.
