ANTONIO CITTERIO<br />

THE<br />

GENTLEMAN<br />

OF<br />

ITALIAN<br />

DESIGN<br />

Antonio Citterio shapes international<br />

design like few others.<br />

The Milan-based architect and designer’s creations<br />

are usually based on existing styles. “Above all else,<br />

I am an architect,” commented the analytical spirit,<br />

who takes his inspiration from modern life and living<br />

in the world’s cities. Citterio’s top priority is always the<br />

room space as a whole. The product comes second.<br />

At 13, he designed his first piece in his<br />

father’s furniture workshop.<br />

At 18, he received a design award for a handmade<br />

cupboard. At the age of 22, he opened his first office,<br />

even before completing his architecture studies in Milan.<br />

Today, some fifty employees work on international<br />

architecture, interior and design projects: From the Milan<br />

metro to offices and hotels. Citterio’s work also stands<br />

for modern living design. In 2007, he received the title<br />

“Royal Designer” from the British Royal Society.
