Artemide Set

Vico Magistretti (October 6, 1920, Milan – September 19, 2006, Milan) was a highly influential 20th century Italian furniture designer and architect known for his experimental yet remarkably harmonious designs that ranged from diminutive decorative furnishings to elaborate architectural façades. During his career, Magistretti earned numerous awards for his contributions to Italian furniture design and product design during the postwar era. Examples of his work include the Ecclise table lamp for Artemide (1966), which won Vico Magistretti his first Compasso d’Oro award in 1967 and the Selene stacking chair for Artemide (1968)
