Luciano Frigerio

Italian designer who led Frigerio di Desio, a family furniture company based in Desio, in the Brianza region north of Milan. From the 1960s to the 1980s he designed sideboards, cabinets, tables, sofas and lamps, often in lacquered wood, rosewood, leather and polished metal, with a taste for bold, sculptural volumes. Collectors appreciate the quality of manufacture and the confident, sometimes theatrical character of his pieces.
