Antonio Citterio
Antonio Citterio was born in 1950 in Meda, Italy. This is a municipality in northern Italy, about 30 kilometers from the Swiss border. But Milan is also nearby, so Citterio decided to study here. He studied architecture at the Milan University of Applied Sciences. After Citterio graduated at the age of 22, he worked his way up in the design world. Among other things, he worked for Hackman,Iittala and Vitra. The Finnish brand Iittala brought, for example, the cutlery set Iittala Citterio 98 from.
Citterio's work was very diverse. Not only was he involved in designing buildings, he also designed furniture, for example. As a result, he received many awards, including even the Compasso d'Oro twice in 1987 and 1995. Some of his designs are also permanently exhibited at MoMA in New York and the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris.
