Cristina Celestino

Cristina Celestino was born in Pordenone 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.

The activities of Cristina Celestino and her studio range from residential, hospitality, and
commercial projects, to creative direction and product design.

Her work is characterized by an innate freedom of observation that is both erudite and
curious, with a playful approach. She cultivates a great capacity for scientific and aesthetic
investigation, displaying an obsession with material and geometry. This allows her to move
across history and traditions, altering the scale of objects and creating new conceptual and
decorative canons. An approach that intertwines a transdisciplinary perspective with
analytical rigor, leading to unexpected spaces, objects, and experiences where nature speaks
to us with unanimity.

Collaborations and clients include Ames, Botteganove, Budri, CC-Tapis, Cedit,
Diptyque, Experimental Group, Fendi, Fornace Brioni, Etel, Kaldewei, Maison Matisse,
