Angelo Mangiarotti

Angelo Mangiarotti

Angelo Mangiarotti, an Italian architect and designer, was a prominent figure in the post-war design movement, renowned for his innovative and human-centric approach to design. Born in 1921 in Milan, he studied architecture at the Politecnico di Milano and later honed his skills under Frank Lloyd Wright during his time in the United States. Mangiarotti’s design philosophy was deeply rooted in the belief that form must always follow function, leading him to create designs that were not only aesthetically pleasing but also highly practical. He was known for his mastery in working with materials like marble and glass, crafting them into elegant, organic forms. The Giogali series, designed for Vistosi, is a quintessential example of his innovative approach to design and his mastery of materials, particularly glass. Introduced in the 1960s, the Giogali series is primarily known for its distinctive use of glass links or rings, which are ingeniously interlinked to create stunning lighting fixtures. Throughout his career, Mangiarotti made significant contributions to both industrial design and architecture, creating a wide range of products from household items to large architectural projects. His works are celebrated for their simplicity, integrity, and timeless beauty, reflecting his commitment to creating designs that resonate with both functionality and elegance. He received numerous accolades for his work, including the prestigious Compasso d'Oro. Mangiarotti's legacy lives on, inspiring generations of designers with his innovative use of materials and his philosophy of design serving human needs.
