Masterful Hands

Antonio Citterio, Daniel Liebskind, Zaha Hadid, Jean Nouvel, and Chan Soo Khian – these may not be household names to the layperson but in the field of architecture, they are esteemed individuals. These five architects may be trained on the same fundamentals of architecture, but individually when it comes to designing buildings, they have their own design DNA. Can’t attain these luxurious properties? Fret not, you can buy their “tiny architecture” in the form of furniture, lighting, and accessories to appreciate their works. Here’s an insightful look into architectural greats and the furniture pieces they designed for the modern abode.

ANTONIO CITTERIO

Antonio Citterio was born in 1950 in Meda, Italy. He graduated from the Polytechnic of Milan. Today, he’s a highly sought-after product designer and architect. In 1999, together with Patricia Viel, he founded Antonio Citterio and Partners, a multidisciplinary practice for architectural design, industrial design, and graphics. The two-times Compasso d’Oro winner (1987 and 1995), Citterio pushes the boundaries of design with his outstanding architectural work and product designs. His firm quickly rose to prominence with a series of projects for the luxury hotel chain Bulgari Hotels and Resorts – first for the inaugural Bulgari Hotel in Milan in 2004, followed by the Bulgari Resort in 2006, then the Bulgari restaurant and cafe in Tokyo in 2007. In that same year, Citterio received the Royal Designer for Industry award from the Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce in London.
