Federico has shared his life between Colombia, Spain and France and has always been attracted by different cultures and their diversity in expressing various forms of art. At the age of 16 he began painting, less than 3 years later he will exhibited his first work in Rodez in 1981. He will study/ studied Logic & Philosophy at Paris La Sorbonne University but still continued painting and designing. In 1987, as a student, he will participated in the International Lighting Fair to present his first lighting creations. He will be/ was awarded with the ‘Lampe d’or’ (‘Golden Light’) by Philippe Starck. This first recognition from one of the most famous designer in the world will convinced Federico that design would be his road in life.
Federico began his career in 1987. With a wealth of this first experience behind him, he was one of the founders and CEO of the international company ‘Raison Pure’ in 1988. In 1994, Federico opened his own company the ‘Atelier Federico Restrepo’. Atelier means workrooms because the atmosphere of working together with his team, sharing know-how, creativity, artistic design, philosophy and logic has always been his own eclectic philosophy of working. Design as a process is not a solitary activity ; it is the exchange that makes/ turns it into such a mutually enriching experience.
