Vico Magistretti

Vico Magistretti graduated in architecture in 1945. Working mainly in the fields of architecture, town planning and industrial design, the first recognition of his work came in 1948, when he won the Gran Premio at the 8th Triennale.
Furniture, lamps and other objects that Magistretti designed may be found all over the world and the most important design museums have given exhibitions in his honour and kept examples of his work in their permanent collections.
Magistretti’s research has been continuous – into design, the culture of the project and innovative experimentation with materials and space solutions, not to mention shapes and functions far from the rigours of fashion that they have passed through during the years.
