As a designer, entrepreneur and university lecturer, Carlotta de Bevilacqua is an important figure in the world of contemporary lighting design and related research.
Carlotta de Bevilacqua graduated in architecture from the Politecnico di Milano in 1983. She now runs her own office specialising in lighting design and is involved in interior and architectural projects around the world. She founded her design studio in 1983. From the outset, the studio has taken an interdisciplinary approach, bringing together expertise in architecture, design, lighting, communication and interiors.
Carlotta de Bevilacqua's studio is something like a small factory, with 20 employees working on a variety of projects. The team designs offices, private homes, exhibitions, wellness spaces and more. In every project, the theme of the space and its spatial conditions take centre stage, with a constant focus on the relationship between light and space.
Carlotta de Bevilacqua also lectures at university and carries out research into new materials. Until 2004, she was CEO of the Brand Strategy & Development organisation within the Artemide Group, and since 2001 she has been Professor of Lighting Design at the Politecnico di Milano in Milan, Italy.
Carlotta de Bevilacqua has designed many products for well-known brands such as Artemide and Danese Milano.
