About ANGELO MANGIAROTTI:  (born in Milan) 1921-2012. After graduating from the Politecnico of Milan in 1948, he embraced the ideals of the Modern Movement, and then seriously pushed beyond them, creating innovative works that combine the economy of means and the aesthetic quality of the structures. Mangiarotti has expressed this theoretical basis in the book “Nel nome dell’architettura”, published in 1987. It highlights the intrinsic characteristics of each object – a design “objective” that is recognized and accepted by the community at large.  Interpreter of a rigorous functionalism, Mangiarotti has never stopped pursuing the ideals of beauty and elegance, rationality and industrial production, integrity of form and simplicity. Gifted with an eclectic creativity his projects range from jewelry, tables and furnishings, office systems, vases, lamps, tableware to houses, industrial facilities, and urban renewal projects. His design work is marked by a lot of prizes received both in the field of design and architecture:
