Gae Aulenti
Gaetana “Gae” Aulenti (1927-2012), world-renowned architect and designer, graduated in architecture in Milan in 1954. A ten-year collaboration with the historic magazine Casabella-Continuità (1955-1965) played a key role in his development as a designer. In 1960 and 1963, after important participations in the Triennale di Milano, he designed showrooms, offices and exhibitions in Italy and abroad, collaborating fruitfully with Olivetti, Fiat, Max Mara and Knoll.
