Vico Magistretti

Vico Magistretti was born in Milan on 6 October 1920. He comes from a family of architects for many generations. In 1956 he was among the founding members of ADI, the Association for Industrial Design, and was part of the jury of the Compasso d'Oro Prize. The attention paid to the theme of living will eventually monopolize his activity as an architect, making him develop an extremely expressive language. Magistretti is one of the fathers of the so-called Italian Design, a phenomenon that he himself defines as "miraculous" and that could only occur thanks to the meeting of two essential components: architects and manufacturers. At the end of the 60s he began collaborating with producers, including Artemide, Cassina and Oluce, creating objects that will remain the "classics" of design.
