Hello ! I’m Elisabetta Rizzato, Italian architect and founder of italianbark.com. I created ITALIANBARK back in 2013 to inspire design lovers and design professionals in their job and daily life, but above all to inspire myself in a moment when I felt totally demotivated in my own job.
Over the years, IB has grown to become one of the most read Italian interior design blogs abroad and one of the most popular trend forecasting websites on a global scale. Today, IB is a complete platform with endless resources for design professionals and design lovers, without never loosing that personal touch of the beginnings.
ITALIANBARK was awarded as “Best Colour Inspiration Blog” International at the Amara Interior Blog Awards 2018 and listed in the Top Global 25 interior blogs by The Huffington Post, besides being named in many paper and online publications, including Vogue Australia in the top Italian interior Instagram profiles to follow.

What I love about African crafts is their simple yet compelling iconic power, their capacity to immediately tell a story that speaks about traditions, ancestral usage, talent and meticulousness. This is especially true when it comes to wooden hand carved objects, where the artisans’ manual skills are expressed at their best, as I am […]

It’s been a while since we first spotted red creeping back into the popular colour schemes. It started shy as a muted supporter of the omnipresent pink and slowly worked its way towards a more saturated colour spectrum. Ready or not, but 2020 will be the year of the exotic (and dangerous) Vermillion Red. Vermillion […]
