Mario Bellini (born 1 February 1935) is an Italian architect and designer.[1] After graduating from the Polytechnic University of Milan in 1959, he pursued a career in architecture, exhibition design, product design, and furniture design during the Italian economic boom in the late 20th century.[2]
Bellini has received numerous accolades across various design fields, including eight Compasso d'Oro awards and the Gold Medal for Lifetime Achievement from the Triennale di Milano.[3] In 2019, the President of the Italian Chamber of Deputies, Roberto Fico, awarded him a career medal in recognition of his contributions to Italian architecture and design.[4]
