Born in Udine, Fabio Di Bartolomei founded the Di Bartolomei Design Agency in 1979, a studio that soon expanded its reach with offices in New York and Brisbane, establishing a strong international presence. His work ranges from industrial and strategic design to interior design, architecture, exhibition design, and corporate image, always driven by a deep research into materials and innovative forms.
His creations have been showcased in prestigious institutions such as the MoMA in New York and the Corning Museum of Glass, as well as in solo exhibitions both in Italy and abroad.

With more than two hundred projects brought into production – chairs, furniture, accessories, lamps, objects, jewelry, electronic devices, boats, and machinery – Di Bartolomei has consistently blended functionality, aesthetics, and technological innovation. Among his most iconic works are the ECO WATERBUS project for Venice, a symbol of sustainable design, and installations such as the celebrated Floating Chairs on the Naviglio Grande in Milan.
