Fabiano Sarra

Fabiano Sarra is a designer, maker and educator based in Rochester, NY. He started woodworking in 2011 while studying at the School for American Crafts at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). After receiving his BFA, he moved to Snowmass Village, Colorado and worked as the Studio Coordinator for the Woodworking and Furniture Design program at Anderson Ranch. In 2017 he returned to RIT to pursue his MFA in Furniture Design and has since been working full time as the shop technician for RIT's Industrial Design program.

In the studio, he draws inspiration from the materials and processes used throughout crafts' long history. With a reverence for both craft and design, his work explores the intersection of both interests in an attempt to make contemporary work that highlights the qualities found in primitive utilitarian objects.
