Vico Magistretti
Considered one of the founding fathers of Italian design, Vico Magistretti (1920-2006) was an architect, industrial designer and urban planner. Celebrated for his uncanny mastery of clarity of form, he asserted that "to be truly contemporary [in design], one must always have one hand in the past and the other, in the future."
From sleek, high concept furnishings to elaborate architectural façades, Vico Magistretti's furniture and objects are still considered classics of modern production to this day. His award-winning work can be found across the world in galleries, museums and private homes.
