Claudio Francesco Bellini is living and working in Milan, where he graduated in Architecture and  Industrial design at the renowned Politecnico university in 1990.

His strong fascination with creativity, is rooted in his e arly childhood years, inspired by his father Mario Bellini, whom counts as one of the most affluent figures in design history.

From 1990 up to 1996, he collaborated at Mario Bellini Associati, taking part of many types of projects and competitions in arch itecture and design worldwide.  

In 1996 he ounded Atelier Bellini, an innovative design studio with special interest and an original approach on the relationship between new technologies and the creative processes.

In 1998, his revolutionary new office furniture system, TW Collection (Frezza), introduced a  completely new vision in the contemporary office landscape. From that point on, his extensive  production of innovative projects in this area, has deeply contributed to anticipating behaviors  and trends in the working environment evolution over the last 15 years.  

Today Claudio Bellini Design, recognized as one of the most influential European studios, is  active within several fields of design, ranging from furniture to product and architecture. Many  of its creations have received international design awards, among which the prestigious Red Dot, IF and Good design award.  

Professor in urniture design at the Genova University from 2004 to 2008, he holds lectures  and  conferences all over the world, as his work has been extensively published.    

This open minded attitude, combined with a peculiar sensibility for historical heritage, and a deep understanding for material, production process and market requirements, is clearly  expressed in his creations and work method.
