Andrea Branzi

Born in 1938, Andrea Branzi lives and works in Milan. Actor in the Italian radical movement, in the group Alchimia and then in Memphis, Branzi worked to free design from the tyranny of the industrial object and the standard, to provide it with powers of resonance and of evocation. This opened the way to the multiplicity of forms which are today accepted as being design. The city is Branzi's preferred field of observation and the human, his first concern. A strong and unique creative path, in the heart of the history and design of the Twentieth and Twenty-first centuries. Branzi's works are collected by museums all over the world.
