I haven’t met many people like Francesca. Her warmth and generous spirit makes you instantly feel relaxed and want to smile - and she has this Italian accent that is a joy to listen to.
But Francesca is also a trailblazer. She started making eco paints before anyone else in the UK launching her company Francesca Paints back in 1996. An expert in colour, she formulates all her own colours to form beautiful palettes inspire day travel and culture. Francesca Paints is well known in the Interiors industry having created colours for designers as well as curating colours for their homes.
This was the first episode I recorded that hasn’t been at my kitchen table. I headed to Francesca’s inspiring studio in Clapham, with cuttings of the inspiration she’s collected over the years and her mixing table which looks like a Jackson Pollock installation with its layers of paint from 30 years of mixing up paints.
In this episode we talk about the journey of her business and we go deep into her latest palette inspired by women in art from the Renaissance period. I hope you enjoy listening to her passion and warmth. It’s quite infectious.
