In 1996, Akomena gained the contract to create the tomb of the great dancer Rudolf Nureyev, designed by architect Ezio Frigerio and coordinated by L’Operà in Paris. The work, located in Saint-Geneviève-des-Bois, is inspired by the artist’s favourite kilim carpet and is one of the most important examples of mosaic sculpture.
In 1988 Francesca Fabbri opened Akomena, which quickly became a reference point thanks to collaborations with renowned designers, such as Luigi Serafini, Ugo La Pietra, Riccardo Dalisi, Ugo Marano, Adolfo Natalizi, Gianni Veneziano, Bonetti & Garouste, Ravage, Ettore Sottsass, Ron Arad and Gaetano Pesce.

Since 2009, Francesca Fabbri has then focused on the creation of mosaic sculptures: ‘Prigione’ was selected by Vittorio Sgarbi and exhibited at the Venice Biennale in 2011, and now it can be admired at the MAR-Museo d’Arte in Ravenna.
In 2017, Akomena acquired Teti, also specialising in the creation of small mosaic objects for the tourist market. The most recent collections are the result of a prolific activity that combines design creativity with research and the use of different materials.
