Anna CASTELLI FERRIERI

Born in Milan in 1920, Anna Castelli Ferrieri was one of the first women to graduate in architecture from the Milan Polytechnic Institute in 1943. In 1949, together with her husband Giulio Castelli, she founded the Kartell studio, which has become one of Italy's leading furniture manufacturers. An undisputed follower of Le Corbusier and the rationalism of Franco Albini, whom she called "her master", she draws inspiration from their respective styles, proposing pieces of simple design reduced to their primary function. She took part in the work of the International Congress of Modern Architecture (CIAM), and in 1950 became editor-in-chief of the magazine Casabella and correspondent for the English magazine Architectural Design in Italy. Anna Ferrieri, both architect and designer, is part of a generation of great names in Italian design, following in the footsteps of Ettore Sottsass and Gae Aulenti. She also has a career as a teacher at the Domus Academy for Masters in Design classes. Anna Castelli Ferrieri has been awarded the prestigious "Compasso de Oro" on three occasions (1979, 1984 and 1987). His most popular products are the Componibili storage units, and several of his creations are included in the permanent collections of museums around the world, including MoMa in New York.
