Vico Magistretti: Architecture's Titan

If you're into design and architecture, then you'll have heard of Vico Magistretti. He was my great uncle and a creative genius. I'm guessing even Architectural Digest could not digest him!

Born in Milan, Vico brought a refreshing simplicity to the complex world of design, creating such iconic pieces as the Atollo lamp, the Selene chair and the Maralunga couch.

Founded in 2010, the Fondazione Vico Magistretti keeps the architect's world alive by organizing events like the one in Mantova that will take place between May 23-26. 

Vico's pieces are exposed in museums like The Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Triennale in Milan, proving that furniture can be a real work of art.
