DESIGNER

PIERGIORGIO CAZZANIGA

The artisanal gaze of an industrial designer

Piergiorgio Cazzaniga is one of Italy's most internationally renowned designers. His professional career has led him to accumulate direct experience in the industrial production of furniture.

In the 1960s, Dino Boffi chose him as Head of the Office of Studies and Research for BOFFI Cucine where he worked on the European Standardization of the measurements of cabinet modules and of kitchen appliances.

In 1971, together with Luigi Massoni, he set up the Bruttura, Massoni, Pellizza studio, which later became the A&D studio. In the 1990s he established his own studio, Piergiorgio Cazzaniga Design in Lentate sul Seveso (Lombardy), working since then for leading furniture design firms.

In 2008 he began collaborating with Andreu World, for whom he has designed seating families such as Flex, Sail, Lake and Liceo, and tables such as Reverse, which have received various international design awards.

THE ARTISAN CREATOR

Behind his apparent simplicity there is real ingenuity and an artisan of surprising complexity. The emotion that is part of his character is also alive in his work, tinged with intelligence and common sense.

You would have to look very hard to find another designer in the world who, of his own free will, has decided to work entirely on his own and in the same town where he was born. He may well be the last of his kind, because with his stature and the solvency of his work there is no other character equal to him in the difficult specialty of seat design.

He investigates the behavior of the materials, forcing them to submit to his intuition, and he presses and stimulates his interlocutors until he gets what he is looking for, often tempted by the discovery of a new technology that he cannot help investigating.
