ATTENDED THE UNIVERSITY OF ARCHITECTURE IN ROME AND SPECIALIZED IN INDUSTRIAL DESIGN IN 1988, UMBERTO CINELLI CONTINUING HIS STUDIES FOCUSING HIS PASSION FOR ART, ESPECIALLY OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY, ON WHICH BASES ALL HIS FUTURE KNOWLEDGE.

FROM 1994 HE WORKS WITH DIFFERENT INTERNATIONAL BRANDS AS A DESIGNER PROJECT TO CREATE OBJECTS, FURNITURE AND LIGHTING, AS INTERIOR ARCHITECT FOR PRIVATE CLIENTS AND COMMERCIAL SPACES.

IN 2007 HE STARTS WORKING WITH GALERIE FLEUR AS CREATIVE DIRECTOR, TAKES CARE OF THE SELECTION OF ‘900 ART, CREATING A COLLECTION OF EXCLUSIVE FURNITURE AND PRECIOUS DECORATIVE OBJECTS, INSPIRED BY THE 50’S AND 70’S, CATCHING UP WITH SKILLED CRAFTSMEN, WORKING WITH TECHNIQUES AND FINE MATERIALS.

IN 2010 HE OPENS HIS OWN ATELIER IN ROME, WHERE HE STARTS TO CREATE HIS ARTWORKS, EXPERIMENTING INNOVATIVE TECHNIQUES, USING METALS SUCH AS ALUMINUM AND BRONZE, RESIN AND MURANO GLASS, MINERALS AND SEMI-PRECIOUS STONES SUCH AS AGATE, ROCK CRYSTAL, MALACHITE AND LAPISLAZULI. THE WORKS OF UMBERTO CINELLI REPRESENT THE STRENGTH OF THE ABSOLUTE “PROJECT”, UNDER WHICH THE FORMS DRAW WITH RIGOR AND ACCURACY OF SPACE, BUT THE SPLENDOR PLASTIC GEOMETRIC THAT RADIATES FROM HIS CREATIONS, BECOMES A DYNAMIC ENERGY AND UNPREDICTABLE.

WHAT HE REALLY WANTS IS TO GET THE WORK OUT OF THE TRADITIONAL FRAME, OVERCOMING THE DISTANCE RATIO BETWEEN CONTEMPLATIVE WORK OF ART AND THE EVERYDAY OBJECT.

HIS CREATIONS ARE LIMITED EDITION FURNISHING OR UNIQUE PIECE, AIMING MORE TO SCULPTURE THAN DESIGN.
