A classic of Italian design armchair and footrest (ottoman) in the original velvet by vico Magistretti model Maralunga for Cassina. Born into a middle-class Milanese family on October 6, 1920, Vico Magistretti attended the R. Liceo Ginnasio Giuseppe Parini and then enrolled, in the fall of 1939, in the Faculty of Architecture at the Regio Politecnico di Milano, where such prominent figures in the architectural scene of the time as Gio Ponti and Piero Portaluppi taught. Between 1943 and 1944 he decided, like many intellectuals of the time, to leave his country and moved to Switzerland where, at the Champ Universitarie Italien in Lausanne, he was able to take some academic courses. His association with Ernesto Nathan Rogers, who will remain in the architect's memory as a key person in his intellectual formation, dates back to that period. The particular attention paid to the theme of the home and living ended up monopolizing, starting in the 1960s, his activity as an architect, causing him to develop an extremely expressive language that, although sometimes polemically criticized, has much hold in the Lombard architectural culture of the period, allowing him to become one of its major protagonists. His participation in 1959 at the CIAM (Congrès Internationaux d'Architecture Moderne) Congress in Otterlo (Netherlands), where the Italians presented BBPR's Velasca tower, Ignazio Gardella's Olivetti canteen, Giancarlo De Carlo's houses in Matera, and Magistretti's Arosio house in Arenzano, built the previous year, was part of this context. These works caused a scandal and were in a sense emblematic of the crisis that struck the well-known institution in those years, until then the undisputed protagonist of the debate around architecture. The Arosio house seems to mark the beginning of a very personal exploration of a language that is also expressed with sharpness in other coeval single-family houses such as the Schubert villa in Ello (1960), the Gardella house in Arenzano (1963-64) and the Bassetti villa in Azzate (1960-62). In the following years, his work as an architect increasingly went side by side with his work as a designer, designing furniture and objects that remained "classic." For the Lombard architect, simplicity was not lack of decoration but absence of redundancy, in the belief that the 'difference' consisted in conceptual detail: hence his predilection for 'concept design' visible in almost all his production. This was the era of the Town Hall in Cusano Milanino (1966-69), the Milan-San Felice district (1966-69, with Luigi Caccia Dominioni), the house in Piazza San Marco (1969-71) but also the Compasso d'oro award for the Eclisse lamp...
