Celestino’s path
crossed FDT’s as a member of Frazione di Tempo in the
late ’80’s. The next decade saw him finish studies at the
ISIA in Roma, and move to Matera to work with major
players in the padded furniture design business.
Celestino has since participated in major international
fairs and collaborated with local artisans. In 1997, with
Sergio Mazzoli, Celestino organized the exhibition in
Matera of “Design and territory.” In 1999 Ugo La Pietra
invited him to participate to the exhibition “Diversities”
at MIA in Florence and in the year 2000 to “Inhabiting
Time” in Verona.
In May 2000 he took part in the national
congress CNAS (National Design Associations
Committee) and created ADIBA (Design Association of
Basilicata) of which he is the president.
Long time collaborator with FDTdesign, StudioFactory
and FDTdesign have now joined forces and gave birth
to a new entity IOI (Industria Oggetti Italiani) dedicated
to cross-over between industrial and graphic design.
