At the same time, a genuine passion for art has led him to more intimate and precious realms. For over thirty years, Riccardo Cielo has designed, developed, and produced objects ranging from furniture to jewelry, maintaining the same compositional rigor and a calm attention to materials and details. His jewelry collections, presented at prestigious international fairs from London to New York, consolidate a profound expertise in fine jewelry.

" Today, his practice moves seamlessly between architecture, product design, and creative consulting, balancing thought and execution. His gaze remains attentive to the transformations of contemporary living and the responsibility of more conscious production processes. Each project emerges as an act of listening and synthesis, guided by a constant search for harmony between innovation, design culture, and material truth. In this space between idea and matter, Riccardo Cielo's work takes shape: a design practice that goes beyond the creation of objects, each time seeking to give form to balance itself.
