I am Isabella Pratesi,creator of the ‘Isabo’ brand.
Isabo’ draws inspiration from my personal memory, from the breathtaking beauty of this country, and from my parents,Athos and Dede Pratesi, who have revolutionized the history of linens making the “Pratesi”brand famous all over the world.
My lamps and lampshades Isabò are designed in this land and entirely handcrafted by the finest artisanal hands in Tuscany.
I wanted to combine the attention to detail, my love for the finest materials, and the choice of the most beautiful colors.
Each lampshade takes the name of a place that I love,that I have lived in and I carry in my heart.
