Belvedere Design & Inspiration Belvedere was founded in 1980 in Rome, Italy, featuring its first two Design Books GRAPHICOLOR and BLACK AFRICA when design was still something in the air, when booksellers twisted their eyebrows, because no bookshelf was provided for such items. On the other hand, creative artists and designers were all around, ready to take off for the fancy & stylish 80's, where all had to come. Based on experience in graphic, textile & fashion design, Belvedere started to publish unusual but practical editions of designs and images, patterns and motifs which quickly were loved and appreciated by professionals as well as amateurs. Consequently the books conquered step by step the more courageous bookshops, and later even art supply stores. Growing from year to year, many titles, subjects and book series amplified the whole range of the creative design & idea book concept to a global dimension. Today, this website gives a complete outlook on what has been created and published since the very beginning. Especially legendary titles, such like Black Africa, Grafix, Kashmir, Textile Patternbook or Lace Vienna, are not only known to nearly every designer, but also used by them - worldwide. Today, the Belvedere Design Books are a standard in libraries of creatives, designers, academies and schools as well as in the industry, where creativity is the daily bread. Here, Belvedere has established itself as a renowned, reliable and professional resource for Design & Inspiration.
