In 2009, two of her pieces were purchased by the Louvre in Paris, making her the youngest designer to have pieces displayed at the museum.

The company started back in 2011 after Flaminia left Central Saint Martin’s College of Art and Design in London. She set herself apart by utilizing the art of lost-wax casting, where metal is formed in a wax mold and then melted away, leaving the metal creation behind. Two years later, her sister Frederica joined the company to handle the business’ marketing strategy.
