Michele De Lucchi

Michele De Lucchi was born in 1951 at Ferrara and graduated in architecture in Florence. During the period of radical and experimental architecture he was a prominent figure in movements like Cavart, Alchimia and Memphis. He designed lamps and furniture for the most known Italian companies, as Artemide, Olivetti, Alias, Unifor. He restored buildings for Enel, Olivetti, Piaggio, Poste Italiane, Telecom Italia, Zambon. He has taken care of numerous art and design exhibitions and has planned buildings for museums as the Triennale di Milano, the Palazzo delle Esposizioni of Rome and the Neues Museum in Berlin. His professional work has always gone side-by-side with a personal exploration of technology and crafts. In 1990 he founded Produzione Privata, a small scale company where products are realized using artisan techniques and crafts. From 2004 he sculptures little wooden houses with the chain saw to create the essentiality of the architecture.
Selections of his products are exhibited in the most important design museums in the world.
