Michele de Lucchi
One of the leading exponents of architecture and contemporary design, De Lucchi is famous worldwide for his innovative products, so much so that one of his most famous works, the Tolomeo lamp, is still one of the best-selling lamps in the world. Architect Michele De Lucchi was born in Ferrara in 1951. After graduating in architecture in Florence became an assistant in the Faculty. In those years he collaborated with Adolfo Natalini and founded the Cavart group, a cultural project inspired by the ideals of radical design. In the 1980s, Michele De Lucchi in Milan met Ettore Sottsass and became part of the Memphis Group and later approached the world of Olivetti, with which he collaborated until 2002, getting closer to the world of product design. In 1990, De Lucchi founded Produzione Privata, his experimental workshop where he used artisanal techniques to create products free from commissioning, created to give continuity to the Memphis Group. Michele De Lucchi has received numerous awards during his career, including the Compasso d'Oro Prize, the honor of Officer of the Republic in 2000, and an honorary degree from Kingston University in 2006. Since 2008, Michele De Lucchi has been teaching at the Politecnico di Milano Faculty of Design, and between 2017 and 2018 he was the editor of Domus magazine founded by Gio Ponti.
