BIO
Angelo Bellafante has been designing graphics, objects and anything that brings beauty and practicality to our lives. He starts with a dream that denies boundaries and then realizes that dream with his adventurous and minimalist nature pushing him to look at the world through the eyes of a child. After all, every project is a child in the beginning and with the energy Angelo puts into it, he makes it grow and mature into a full project ready to take its place in our lives. He has studied wood, metal, ceramics and goldsmithing design at ISTITUTO STATALE D'ARTE in Sulmona and later visual and industrial design at the center of Italian creativity, Milan at SCUOLA POLITECNICA DI DESIGN SPD and has not stopped ever since, always reminded that it all starts with a dream, to be able to create beauty and serenity around us. He is inspired by his observations as a child, growing up in Rivisondoli of Abruzzo, famous for its snowy mountains, breathtaking nature and most importantly the influence of Napolitanean families who have brought concepts of elegance and beauty to his life. Angelo loves Arabian horses and he dreams, draws and paints them. He has designed and shaped wood, paper, jewellery and never tires of his multifaceted nature.
