This process rather beautifully reveals the innate structure, pattern and color of the stone used. The shape and intricate manufacturing technique make this piece a truly interesting and rare example of Vignelli's design ethic. In excellent condition with slight signs of wear due to time. For over 50 years, the married couple Massimo and Lella Vignelli have collaborated on a variety of design projects, now iconic, ranging from products, prints, interiors, exhibitions and industry. Massimo Vignelli was born in Milan in 1931. he studied architecture at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan from 1948 to 1950, and then continued his studies at the Milan Polytechnic (1950-1953) and at the University of Venice (1953-1957). ).
