Vico Magistretti is regarded as one of the most outstanding
Italian designers of the postwar years.
After studying at the Milan Polytechnic, he worked as an architect
in his father's company. A firm believer that ideas arise from
dialogue, his design process has involved executives in charge
of design at distinguished companies including Artemide, DePavoda,
Rosenthal and Fritz Hansen.
He is the recipient of numerous awards, including the German
Design Innovation Award, the Italian "ADI Design Index"
and, most recently, the prestigious Good Design Award from the
Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design. His creations
are exhibited in museums worldwide.
