Born in Milan in 1921, Angelo Mangiarotti was both a designer and educator, combining his architectural, urban planning, and design practice with a distinguished teaching career at leading universities in Italy and abroad. He regarded architecture as a practical, functional, and restrained art form, while industrial design, for him, was a way to express the artisan’s touch through materiality. Unlike many of his contemporaries in the first generation of Italian design, Mangiarotti’s approach prioritized the adaptation of objects to their intended function, material properties, and environmental conditions.
