Vico Magistretti (1920 - 2006) has been one of the most influent Italian design masters, exploring thorugh his work all the aspects of living: from the architecture of buildings to all kinds of interior, to furniture and products that have become legendary. A representative of an Italian approach envisioning an evolution of principles of Modern, he would find his place among the so-called third generation of Modern masters after completing his education through hard times, the years of late fascist Italy and World War II. An architect’s son and grandson, Ludovico Magistretti was born in Milan in 1920, and during his architecture studies at Politecnico di Milano he had to quit Italy and flee to Switzerland in 1943 to avoid deportation: while studying in Lausanne, he met Ernesto Nathan Rogers — the founder of BBPR studio, an influent figure that would shape the Italian postwar architectural debate — who soon became one of his main educational references.
