Giandomenico Belotti
Giandomenico Belotti was born in Bergamo on December 1, 1922. After studying at the Higher Institute of Artistic Industries (Isia) in Monza and the Artistic High School of Brera, he enrolled in the Faculty of Architecture at the Polytechnic University of Milan in 1941, embarking on an extended educational journey during which he had various work experiences.
One of his most important works is the Spaghetti chair (1980), the famous chair made of steel and PVC, which has also become part of the permanent collections of the MoMa in New York and the Triennale Design Museum in Milan. After spending his childhood in Bergamo, Belotti moved to Venice, where he graduated from IUAV (University Institute of Architecture of Venice) and started dedicating his life to restoration, urban furnishings, and industrial design. He collaborated with various Italian private organizations for the construction of homes, industrial complexes, as well as exhibition and museum installations. Among his collaborators were Alias SpA (the producer of the Spaghetti Chair, originally called Odessa) and other Italian furniture companies, such as Ascom, Foppapedretti, Lucente, and Artnet.
He became the director of the Laboratory of Urban Planning, Architecture, and Industrial Design of the SCP (Cooperative Design Society), during which he committed himself to constructing projects in developing countries such as Argentina, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Costa Rica, Mozambique, and Tunisia.
