His designer travel starts right there, taking specializations in the textile and footwear sector and attending the Ars Sutoria Institute courses, in Milan. In 1991 he established his own studio, “M. PIER C. Design” with his sister Maddalena, that is an architect, and his brother Marco, accountant. So that the Company name took its origin from the first letter of their name, “M”. In 1995 Pierantonio Callegarini started to be also known as “Pier Callegarini” in the creative world; he also became member of the IDEAS association (International Designer’s Exibition for Active Sport) and he started to exhibit at the most important sports fairs: Supershow Atlanta, Ispo Munich, Outdoor Friedrichshafen.

From 2008 he’s also member of ADI, Association for the Industrial Design. In 2009 Pier Callegarini got a new inspiration while he saw in just a few seconds the night disappearing: “I’ve been illuminated in 2009 while travelling by plane overseas and I just saw in a few seconds the night becoming a new day, and so the beautiful stars vanishing; but the stars were there as well, hidden by the day light! That was my ILLUMINATION: the TRIPLED. Triple, like the three phases for creating the Artwork and the Three emotions that it raises whent it’s turned off, when it’s turned on in the dark or when it’s on and lighted up by the surrounding light. Trip, the travel as source of inspiration.. Led, my “canvas”..
