We are Donatella and Simona: two Italian architects who graduated from the University of Florence almost simultaneously. While having some mutual Italian friends, we never crossed paths in Tuscany.
Fast forward almost 20 years later in California, fate intervened. We met and discovered our shared passions. That's when we decided to open Florentine Design, and we have been inseparable ever since!
Welcome to Florentine Design, a boutique residential design firm that merges Italian heritage and California lifestyle.
Our design is rooted in the timeless elegance of Florence, Italy, where we both started our journey as Architects.
We integrate architectural and interior expertise, ensuring a seamless design experience for our clients.
Enjoy the ‘Dolce-Vita’ living with Florentine Design.
Whether you seek to reimagine your home’s interiors, or embark on a full home remodel, we offer a personalized and streamlined design journey.
Donatella Mazzini started her career as an Italian Architect working at firms in Milan, Italy.
After moving to California in 2007, she fell in love with residential design. Working with several talented professionals through the years, she learned about all of its aspects from permitting to detailing.
Wanting to highlight the core of Italian design - a blend of functionality and elegance, she started her own firm in 2017.
While the homes she works on and the families that inhabit them are always on her mind, she also enjoys traveling with her husband and 2 teenage sons.
Simona Corradini is an Italian Designer with over 20 years of experience in high-end commercial interiors, Italian Style, and Dolce Vita.
She managed store design and construction for the Prada group and Apple throughout Europe while living in Italy, London, NY and the Bay Area.
She brings to Florentine Design her cross-industry project management and design experience, passion for beautiful interiors and artistic talent.
Beyond the design world, she loves to sing and make tortellini from scratch for her husband and 2 young sons.
