Biography
Background
Cristina Celestino was born in Pordenone in 1980 and studied architecture at the IUAV School of Architecture in Venice. After graduating in 2005 she worked with various design studios, focusing on interior architecture and design. In 2013 she established her studio in Milan, whose activities range from residential, hospitality and commercial projects to creative direction and product design.
Signature Style
Her approach is free in observation, learned and curious, with a strong capacity for scientific and aesthetic investigation and an obsession with material and geometry. That lets her travel through history and traditions, changing the scale of objects to build new conceptual and decorative canons. Her quote: "By adding contemporary aesthetics to traditional materials I aim to create new design typologies."
Notable Works
- Luminora Light (2024, Moooi)
- Aldora Sofa, Aldora Vis a Vis and Aldora Chaise Longue (Moooi)
Legacy
Her awards include several Elle Decor International Design Awards in the wallcovering category, a special jury prize at Salone del Mobile in 2016 and Maison & Objet's 'Best Designer of the Year' in 2022. Her clients and collaborators include Acqua di Parma, Diptyque, Fendi, Gervasoni, Moooi, Nilufar and Serapian.
