About Osvaldo Borsani
Osvaldo Borsani (born 1911, Varedo, Italy–died 1985, Milano, Italy) was an Italian designer and architect, born into a family of furniture makers with along and well established artisanal tradition. His father, Gaetano Borsani, owned his own furniture shop, the Atelier di Varedo, where the 16-year-old Osvaldo received his first training. At that time, the designer of the atelier was the architect Gino Maggioni, who brought with him influences of the early 20th century Jugendstil movement from Vienna and who instilled in the young Borsani an appreciation for the arts and crafts and furniture making. Osvaldo Borsani first studied fine arts at Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan, graduating in 1931, and then pursued studies in architecture at Politecnico di Milano, where he graduated in 1936.
In 1933, two years before graduating as an architect, Borsani designed the Casa Minima project for the V Triennale di Milano (Milan Triennial), along with architects Cairoli and Varisco. This project earned him a silver medal for its Rationalist code and geometries, and he received positive reviews from the critic Edoardo Persico of Casabella magazine.
Villa Borsani And Other Prominent Architectural Work
In 1937, Osvaldo Borsani designed Villa Presenti in Forte dei Marmi, a sea town in Tuscany where the Italian aristocracy and industrial elite would build their houses, a project that displayed the same rationalistic rigor displayed in Casa Minima, but softened by the use of mediterranean finishes and materials.

In 1943, Osvaldo designed and built his own house, the Villa Borsani, in Varedo, which, despite being conceptualized under strict Rationalist principles, incorporated objects and art of younger artists that communicate a freer approach to the human expression. The Villa Borsani project involved artists such as Adriano Spilimbergo, Fausto Melotti, Lucio Fontana (who made the ceramic fireplace and the ceramic Madonna), and Agenore Fabbri (who made the bronze statue in the staircase). To this day, Villa Borsani has been preserved with most of its original furniture and it remains with Osvaldo Borsani’s family along with the extensive archives of his work.
Osvaldo Borsani As a Successful Product and Furniture Designer
After Villa Borsani, Osvaldo continued to develop many projects for the Milanese bourgeoisie, frequently with many of the same artists whom he employed for his villa. A particularly strong relationship was the one that Osvaldo developed with artist Lucio Fontana, a close friend since the time of the Accademia de Belle Arti di Brera, and whom Borsani assigned to make a large metal...

Osvaldo Borsani Table for Atelier Borsani Varedo, Italy 1930s
By Osvaldo Borsani, Atelier Borsani Varedo
Located in Utrecht, NL
The 1930s in Italy are also referred to as the 'decade of contradiction'. On the one hand, urban planning, architecture, decoration were all dictated by the rhetoric of the regime. On the other hand, in contrast to the ideological alignment, completely new design languages and determined designers emerged.
It is also the decade in which an idea of ??industrial design is affirmed, the 'reproducible beauty', which van be seen for example in Gio Ponti's early works. Osvaldo Borsani, still a student at the time, was among those protagonists who looked beyond the present. He was best known for his research-based approach to making furniture. This dining table was designed by Borsani in the late 1930s, shortly after his graduation from the Politecnico di Milano. This rare table model is special for several reasons: firstly, it is a model that predates the post-war Tecno era of the designer’s career, therefore it is less about technical features and more about the craftsmanship’s aesthetic quality. Secondly, the sculptural legs are unique even in Borsani’s wide repertoire of furniture. The structure is made of solid walnut, with a rectangular black glass top that can be extended, making this a perfect dining table. The wood in itself is captivating, the hand carved legs are outstanding, unique both for the era and Borsani himself. Still, the black glass tabletop is the design’s main feature. While glass is often perceived as a fragile material on furniture, on this table it doesn’t appear to be. It complements the sturdy look of the solid wood body, adding a layer of style. It also matches well with the walnut’s colour scheme. While marble and glass top tables...
