In 2020, Franchi opened the Atelier of Water Crystals in Grazzano Visconti, Piacenza, where she creates and exhibits unique pieces.

This multimaterial lighting sculpture combines steel and satin glass, with two LED strips (4000K + 3000K) illuminating the piece.

When lit, the glass showcases hot and cold light reflections, with the title drawing inspiration from Zen thought and aesthetics.
