Berto Pandolfo is an industrial designer who trained and worked in Australia and Italy. His design research interests are influenced by non-traditional or practice-oriented investigations.

Specifically his research focuses on the application of both emerging and traditional methods to develop new approaches to complex form making. He applies his research within the context of batch production and commercialisation of designed objects in Australia. Among his self-produced designs are the spk bowl, the rak coat stand, the blk side table and the srv plate.

Berto is senior lecturer in the Product Design program at UTS. He teaches in both undergraduate and postgraduate courses with a focus on the history of industrial design, technical and visual communication for industrial designers, object making and prototyping and commercialisation of design.

His designs are cited in both local and international design journals and his work is exhibited in design events both locally and internationally.
