Antonio Aricò

Antonio Aricò is a multi-talented Italian creative, renowned for his work as an artist, designer and creative director. He holds a double degree from Milan Polytechnic and a master’s degree that explored the intersection of Design & Tradition, blending art, craft and design. Today, Aricò’s interdisciplinary practice is informed by these theories and infused with the poetic sensibilities of contemporary culture. He is a pioneer of a unique approach that marries crafts and self-production with industrial design. Aricò’s design philosophy prioritizes the romantic, fantastic and archetypical over mere functionality, imbuing each project with a sense of poetry, fantasy and romance that harkens back to our past while remaining firmly rooted in the present. In his universe, the coldness of industrialism is replaced by a vividly brought-to-life nostalgia that is both timeless and modern.
