Profile
A sculptor by training, a metal hardware developer by profession.
Bernardo Lascialfari, born in 1998, lives and works in Florence.
After the Liceo Artistico and a bachelor's degree in Sculpture at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze (104/110), I started at Vispel, modelling metal accessories for leather goods and footwear and running the workshop prototyping department.
At Chloé I handled the technical development of accessories, industrialisation, tooling launch, sampling for collections and runway shows, and master approval.
Since June 2025 I have been a metal hardware developer at Prada, working between Design, Product and Industrialisation, and managing the 3D printers for prototyping.
