The book-loving designer and illustrator Matteo Morelli was born in 1990. He studied Product Design as a Bachelor and Communication as a Master at the Politecnico di Milano. His background in Fine Art and Graphic Design is combined in surreal, traditionalist illustrations are restorations and interpretations of etchings that he has uncovered in old books, producing an aesthetic which both looks to the past and comments on it, creating an ironic take on the history of Italian art. His work has been exhibited at Milan Design Week, as well as in locations as diverse as Tokyo and Berlin, and has won national and international design awards.
