In 1994, he returned to Milan where he opened his own studio and realised a series of store designs for Anna Molinari - in Hong Kong, London, Singapore and Taipei. This was quickly followed by a number of other interior design projects, for shops bars, restaurants and hotels. Since 2001, Fabio Novembre has also increasingly designed furniture, including the table series Org and the sofas And and Divina. In 2009, the provocateur presented the playful Him & Her pair of chairs, two chairs which frontally reminiscent of the classic Panton Chair, but from the back resemble a male or female posterior. In addition, Fabio has realized projects for companies such as Casamania and Driade and also created a homage to Anna Castelli Ferrieri with the Componibili Smile for the renowned Italian manufacturer Kartell.
