Luigi Massoni, architect, designer, publicist and publisher: one of the most active Italian designers not only in design but also in the modern definition of the idea of design and production. Luigi Massoni (1930-2013) was one of Italy's most prolific designers and contributed to the growth of the design industry in the post-war period with his products, his advertising campaigns and his journalistic work in Italian magazines. Luigi Massoni (1930-2013) trained as an architect and designer at the Collettivo di Architettura in his hometown Milan. In 1957 he began his career as a designer by creating, together with Carlo Mazzeri, an ice bucket and a cocktail shaker for Alessi, which are still in production. In the same year he began his collaboration with Carlo de Carli. Together with De Carli, he founded the magazine 'Il Mobile Italiano' and initiated the 'Standard' furniture biennial in Mariano Comense. During his career, Massoni served clients such as Boffi, Gabbianelli, Poltrona Frau, Sirrah, Venini and Guzzini. As artistic director of Guzzini (1963-1976), he was responsible for the company's corporate image and design policy. In this capacity he employed designers such as Gio Ponti, Gae Aulenti and Fabio Lenci. He also designed some iconic pieces for Guzzini himself.
