About me
My name is Davide Bello, and I am an atelierista and educator. For over twenty years, I have designed ateliers, educational spaces and inquiry-based programmes with teachers, educators and children. I believe in beauty as an educational language, in attention to detail, in materials as tools for thought, and in light as an element of design. My work grows from the meeting of pedagogy, art and design, taking shape in environments that speak of relationships, exploration and wonder.
