Franco Albini
Italy
1905-1977
Defined the Italian "Neo-Rationalist" movement. Albini's work helped herald in a wave of furniture design that successfully combined the new forms of modernism with a more traditional artisanship. Favorite motifs included inexpensive raw materials of the area during a time of the post war years when other materials were scarce. Both his architecture and furniture design displays a commitment to a rigorous craftsmanship and elegance built on a minimalist aesthetic, unencumbered by extraneous ornamentation.
