Gabriella Crespi

Italian designer (1922-2017) who worked in Milan from the 1950s to the late 1980s, creating furniture, lighting and objects that blur the line between design and sculpture. Her Plurimi series of transformable tables and cabinets, her Rising Sun bamboo pieces and her works in brass, steel and resin drew a fashionable international clientele. She later withdrew to India. Signed and documented pieces are keenly collected.
