SARA BERNARDI MICROMACRO

Sara Bernardi is an Italian architect and the founder of MICROmacro. Sara worked in the fields of architecture and design for various international companies such as Fuksas, Graft, IaN+, between Italy and China before founding her own practice in Beijing. Her work focuses on contradictions and dichotomies, grafting different scales and materials, mixing different identities and cultural influences.

The result of her work is MICROmacro, a design office that exists between Beijing and Rome, and mixes an Italian design background with inspiration from both local craftsmanship and global influences.

The company focuses on the relationship between architecture, design and art. Yet MICROmacro’s approach attempts to blur the boundaries that divide the various aspects of creativity, aiming to create an exchange between disparate realities and scales from MICRO to macro.
