Antonio Aricò is an Italian artist, designer and creative director. After earning a double degree at Milan Polytechnic, he got his master’s degree with a work based on the themes of Design & Tradition. Combining the fields of art, craft and design. These themes, merged with the poetry of contemporary culture, make up Aricò’s interdisciplinary practice today. Aricó is known as the forerunner of a unique approach that parallels crafts and self-production with industrial design. With each new project, he approaches different design themes. Preferably focussed on the romantic, fantastic and archetypical, rather than the functional. In his projects, cold industrialism is replaced with the poetry, fantasy and romance of our past, vividly brought to life.
