Antonio Citterio


Antonio Citterio (* born 1950 in Meda/Italy), studied architecture at the Milan Polytechnic. In 1972 he began work as a designer and consultant in the field of industrial design, before joining Terry Dwan as a partner at Studio Citterio/Dwan. From 1990-92 he held a teaching position at the Domus Academy in Milan and was an external examiner for the Furniture Design course at the Royal College of London from 1993-95. Together with Patricia Viel, he founded the multidisciplinary office Antonio Citterio and Partners in Milan in 1999, and from 1999 to 2002 he also taught on the architectural faculty at the Università della Svizzera Italiana. He resumed a position on the faculty of this university in 2006. In addition to designing furniture classics such as Spoon and Gastone for Kartell or the Oson and Visaroll chair series for Vitra, Antonio Citterio also designed the manufacturing and administration complex for Vitra in Neuenburg, Germany.
