Biography

edit

Born and raised in Milan, Bellini's strong fascination with creativity dates back to his early childhood years, growing up with his father, Mario Bellini, who is a pioneer in contemporary design. In 1990, Claudio Bellini graduated from the Politecnico di Milano in Architecture and Industrial Design. After his studies, from 1990 to 1996, he collaborated with his father in Mario Bellini Associates where he took part in research projects in the fields of industrial, architectural and furniture design. [2]

In 1996 Claudio Bellini founded his multidisciplinary design studio, consolidating important collaborations with leading companies such as Artemide, Flou, Poltrona Frau, Vitra, Driade, Frezza and Olivari.[3]

Professor in Furniture Design at the Genoa University from 2004 to 2008, he has held lectures and conferences all over the world.[4]

As a trendsetter in various design fields, he was honored with numerous international design awards, including the Red Dot and iF product design award. He has been also selected for the Compasso d'Oro).[5]

In 1996 Claudio Bellini founded Atelier Bellini, later renamed Claudio Bellini design+design and recently rebranded into CLAUDIO BELLINI Studio: a multidisciplinary design studio shaped by a deep understanding of the creative process.

In 1998, his revolutionary office furniture system, TW Collection[7] for Frezza,[8] introduced a completely new vision to the contemporary workplace. From then on, his research in this field has largely contributed to anticipating behaviors and trends in the evolution of the office environment in recent decades.

Creative director, over the years, for several international companies such as Natuzzi Italia and Fursys Group,[9] since 2003, he has contributed significantly with his creative vision to transform Barazzoni[10] into one of the most important Italian kitchenware companies.

Claudio Bellini's innovative approach contributes to the creation of original and remarkable projects with world-leading companies such as Bernhardt Design, Pedrali,[11] Walter Knoll,[12] RH,[13] Riva1920[14] and Dedon,[15] to name a few.
