Vico Magistretti

The 1950s were a very busy and fruitful period for the young architect, who came up with lots of innovative ideas and, very quickly, emerged as one of the most brilliant exponents of the "third generation". In these years Magistretti designed two of his most significant buildings in Milan: the Torre al Parco in via Revere (1953-56, working with Franco Longoni) and the office block in corso Europa (1955-57).

Over the next few years Vico began working a lot more as a designer as well as an architect, creating furniture and objects which will always be "classics" of modern-day production for important companies such as: Campeggi, Cassina and Thonet .
