Ontwerpers

Guido Bellucci and Francesco Mazzoni, from STUDIO BMB PROGETTI in Siena, collaborated for many years with important architectural firms, with DOT316 they got inspiration from Minimalism, working on the concept of simplicity of the shapes, towards more geometric solutions. “One of the ideas that guided us in this project – the designers say – was to have some basic principles: simplicity, respect for the environment, noble materials such as Stainless steel AISI316, light, reflections, personalization and balance.”
An idea of well-being has been pursued, which “in designing – says Bellucci – depends on various factors such as the materials used, the colors, the exposure to the light of the forms”.

Architect (Biella, 8th August 1959) Graduated at the Politecnico of Turin and in the first half of the 70s he makes his first experiences in some offices of architects in Treviso and Venice.
In 1979 he is admitted to an exhibition in Pistoia with a project of re-qualification of the former airport and there he meets GM. This experience marks definitely his architectural calling. During his studies at the university he substitutes classes with an intense field research: first of all he becomes assistant of Prof. C. in the erecting yard of the O.N.’s Cartiere Burgo’s New Seat in S.Mauro Torinese (thanks to this job he gains the transfer to the University of Florence). Finally he works in the restoration yard of Palazzo Te in Mantua. On this experience he writes his final dissertation at university: a project for a passage connecting trench above the covering of palace rooms and an invitation to cooperate to the new magazine “Quaderni di Palazzo Te”.

His activity goes from architecture to industrial design. The “Eroica” kitchen, outlined in 1990 for Boffi, gets an award at the VII edition of the Salone Permanente delle Innovazioni Tecnologiche in the Science and Tecnology Museum in Milan, where the “Eroica” has been displayed.

He takes part to many international reviews in Paris, London, Frankfurt, etc. In London, when the 500 years from Lorenzo the Magnificent’s death is celebrated, the Italian drawing section is represented by his project. In 1993 he attends, together with other authors, the “Fabbrica Estetica” exhibition, organized by AM in the Pavillon “Italy” of the Grand Palais of Paris with the cooperation of the Institute for Export Trade.
His works can be found all around the world in many magazines of architecture and design.

For Ritmonio he has planned: Paolo e Francesca in collaboration with Rossano Didaglio.

Born in 1966 in Varallo (VC), graduated in engineering and, after an activity of research at the Politecnico of Turin, he comes to planning.

He is since ever highly fond of project culture and of the way that ideation, technology, production, communication and marketing strategies interfere between each others in order to realize and advertise a product, that’s why he develops a meaningful series of collaborations with companies belonging to many fields: lighting, home fittings, radiators, coverings and bathroom.

From 1999 to 2007 he develops and takes care of the Bath and Kitchen Division of the Company Ritmonio. He cooperates and teaches in institutes and universities such as the “Politecnico” of Milan, Faculty of Design, where he is the professor’s assistant in the academic year 2001-02. He receives many international awards: three selections for Adi Design Index, two for the Compasso d’Oro, two for Young and Design, Design Plus and one for Ida (International Design Awards). He is member of the “Osservatorio Territioriale Permanente” for Design.

For Ritmonio he has planned: Tetris, Clockwork, Diametrotrentacinque, Sheeva in collaboration with Andrea Cerminara, Simbiosi, Zenit, Cardano, Comando remoto, Dumbo in collaboration with Francesco Argenti and Maurizio Marchini, Perigeo, Quattroequattrotto.

From the wish to offer products able to open new roads to the innovation and to anticipate trends and from the need of a wide deepened formal and functional research is born Ritmonio Design lab. It is a reality, which melts ideas, feelings and different competencies in order to address them towards complex and suggestive projects, able to tell Ritmonio’s world.
