Claudio Salocchi

Born in Milan in 1934, Claudio Salocchi was an architect and designer at the heart of the creative ferment of the 1960s and 1970s, with projects that anticipated new forms, technologies and typologies. For more than fifty years he worked across industrial design, architecture and interiors, and he was vice president of ADI, the Association for Industrial Design.

In 1979 he won the Compasso d’Oro for Metrosistema, a kitchen system. For Acerbis he designed the Palla armchair, the Free System sofa and the Napoleone coffee tables.
