Vittoriano Viganò

For Vittoriano Viganò, all design disciplines shared a common purpose: to serve as vehicles for human development and social commitment aimed at improving quality of life. His multidisciplinary approach ranged from industrial design to urban planning, earning him international recognition as the leading Italian figure of Brutalism.

The son of painter and engraver Vico Viganò, he grew up in a creative environment and pursued a career in architecture, graduating from the Politecnico di Milano in 1944. Upon opening his own studio, he began a close collaboration with his friend Gino Sarfatti, first as an advisor and later as Art Director of Arteluce. During this time, he designed the brand’s flagship store on Via della Spiga in Milan and created key pieces such as the VV Cinquanta series of luminaires, featuring metal cones that project ambient light through articulated arms.

Thanks

This website is dedicated to all those people who, in one way or another, have helped this project/dream/desire to begin and take shape.

Special thanks to my wife and my parents for supporting me, to Cristina Escarrà and Alfonso Pérez Rosales for generously sharing with me their experience as agents, to those clients who, in one way or another, have given me wise advice, to the brands that have placed their trust in me, and to Gonzalo, my godfather, who, with his always generous help, and guiding me throughout this process, is largely to blame for the fact that I can boast of being an “entrepreneur”.

Thanks also to Nuria, Rafa and Guillermo, who, to help me in the hard beginnings of any entrepreneurial activity, have opened the doors of their home, let me share with them a bit of their personal lives when I pass through their cities of residence, and give me free accommodation.

Thanks to all!
