Osvaldo Borsani has always preferred to define himself as a planner, not a designer. A passionate and curious man, since his beginnings at the family business (ABV - Arredamenti Borsani di Varedo), he has shown an irrepressible vocation towards everything that is avant-garde, technology and innovation. Having become the best interpreter of the Milanese bourgeoisie, he launched himself towards industrial production with the foundation of Tecno in 1953.

In 1932, he was called by Gio Ponti to share the direction of the newly founded FontanaArte, a role that gave him the opportunity to express his full creativity, designing over a thousand different objects, including furniture, tables, lamps, stained glass windows, and art objects in general.

Carlo De Carli was born into a middle-class family in Milan. After studying classical studies and graduating in architecture, he worked for a year in Gio Ponti's studio, where he later took over the chair of Interior Architecture, Furnishings, and Decoration at Politecnico di Milano University in 1962.

He created most of his architectural, exhibition, and design works from the postwar period to the early 1970s. His work as a designer, closely tied to theoretical thought, places the person at the center of the project, prioritizing the process of shaping spaces and objects rather than their very being, and embracing their mutual relationships.

This constant research drives him to create new forms, contributing to the renewal of taste and trends in Italian architecture and design.
