Michele De Lucchi

Protagonist of radical architectural movements such as Cavart, Alchimia and Memphis. He has designed lamps and furniture for the most important Italian and European companies, realizing architectural projects in Italy and in the world. In 1990 he created "private production" to give continuity to the experience of Memphis and, above all, to design and create experimental objects, free from patronage, with maximum freedom of expression. He was awarded the Officer of the Italian Republic for merits in the field of design and architecture. He is also Full Professor at the Design Faculty of the Politecnico di Milano and Academic at the Accademia Nazionale di San Luca in Rome. Designed for Alessi the Electric Kettle Plissè.
