SPECIAL NOTE
Vittoriano Viganò was an Italian architect and designer, celebrated as a leading figure of post-war Brutalism. Upon opening his studio, he began a close collaboration with his friend Gino Sarfatti, first as advisor, and later as Art Director of Arteluce, the company founded by Sarfatti. During this period, he designed the flagship store in Via della Spiga in Milan and made significant design contributions to Arteluce.
Viganò worked across a wide range of disciplines, including architecture, interior design, and landscape architecture. Considered one of Italy’s finest designers, he was awarded the Italian Republic President’s Prize for Architecture.
