Italian applied artist, illustrator, painter, sculptor, and designer Duilio Cambellotti (1876–1960) was involved in the Arts & Crafts and Art Nouveau movements, and his impact extended beyond the aesthetic and political to the social and political.

Cambellotti maintained an awareness of the societal implications of embellishment throughout his artistic trajectory. Under the influence of William Morris, he emerged as a prominent figure among artists striving to preserve an intellectual and aesthetic rapport with the organic immediacy of style embodied in conventional handmade items and traditional pictorial coherence, in contrast to the machine-like images and sleek surfaces that inspired him.
