SPECIAL NOTE
Luciano Frigerio was an Italian designer and composer born in Desio, Italy. His father, Giovanni, established a small cabinet-making workshop in 1889, where Frigerio’s passion for craftsmanship took root. After completing his studies in accounting at the Pio XI College, Frigerio cultivated two lifelong passions: furniture design and music composition. In the 1960s, Frigerio transformed his family’s small workshop into a renowned company, Frigerio di Desio, establishing a global reputation. He drew inspiration from Italian design masters such as Gio Ponti, Franco Albini, and Carlo De Carli. Frigerio’s most recognised contribution was his "Mobili Scultura" (Furniture Sculpture) and "Letti Scultura" (Sculpted Beds), which fused materials like solid wood and bronze, creating unique and artistic furniture removed from the mass-produced items of the time.In 1973, Frigerio was awarded the prestigious title of Commendatore della Repubblica Italiana and later, in 1989, he was named Cavaliere dell'Ordine Equestre del Santo Sepolcro di Gerusalemme. His work was exhibited in prominent Italian art galleries and international furniture fairs.
