Maria Elena Coco is an Italian surface pattern designer based in Gorizia, Italy, with a bachelor degree in Interior Design from the University of Florence. After years of collecting beautiful fabrics for her own use, she began to design them herself. The most satisfying side of her work is seeing designs come to life on everyday products and she was so enthusiastic about this, that she decided to make a career out of it. Strongly inspired by the beauty of nature around us, she loves playing with colors and shapes, exploring new styles and techniques, improving her skills day after day.
