Monica Armani

Monica Armani is an architect and designer from Trento who divides her time between Trento and Milan. She began her career working with her father, the rationalist architect Marcello Armani, and in 1996, with Luca Dallabetta, created the progetto 1 line, launched by B&B Italia in 2005.

She has since designed for Boffi, Luceplan, Cassina, Molteni&C, Moroso, Poliform and Viccarbe, and her studio turned Milan’s former Cinema Excelsior into a seven-level department store. She identifies with Mies van der Rohe’s maxim “less is more”, and for Gallotti&Radice she designed the WGS Stool.
