riccardocielo Architetto

    Having graduated in Architecture from the Polytechnic University of Milan in 1994, during my academic career I had the opportunity to enrich my professional training by collaborating with leading studios, including Stefano Boeri and Arturo Dell’Acqua Bellavitis.

    During this period, I spent six months in Leicester (UK), working on scenography projects for the BBC, which allowed me to explore international and multidisciplinary design approaches.

      In the following years, I focused my work on the world of design, with a particular focus on the dialogue between architecture, nature, and domestic space. This vision led to the creation of RAN Outdoor, a brand conceived to combine aesthetics, functionality, and craftsmanship in the design of outdoor furniture. With RAN (the brand was sold to Longhi S.p.A. of Meda in 2025), I developed and marketed distinctive collections, in which design becomes a tool for connecting contemporary living and the natural environment.

     Driven by a strong passion for art and a transversal design vision, I have over time designed, developed, and produced objects ranging from furniture to jewelry, applying the same aesthetic rigor and the same attention to materials and details. For over thirty years, I have created jewelry collections presented at international fairs—London, New York, Las Vegas, and Vicenza—consolidating a solid experience also in the field of fine jewelry.

      My work today moves between architectural design, product design, and creative consulting, while maintaining a keen eye on the evolution of contemporary living and the sustainability of production processes.

       My design approach is guided by a continuous search for a balance between innovation, materials, and design culture.
