Vittoriano Viganò

Vittoriano Viganò was a pioneer of post-war Italian architecture. Born in Milan in 1919, son of the famous painter and engraver Vico Viganò, Vittoriano graduated in Architecture from the Milan Polytechnic in 1944. Known as a leading exponent of Brutalism, Vittoriano has left a lasting imprint on the world of architecture and urban planning. As full professor of Interior Architecture and Urban Planning at the Faculty of Milan, he has worked in many fields, from industrial design to architecture, from interior design to urban and landscape design. Always attentive to new trends and innovative architectural experiences, Vittoriano was also the Italian correspondent of L'architecture d'Aujourd'hui, a prestigious magazine directed by Andrè Bloc. Furthermore, he has designed several art galleries in via Brera in Milan and Art Director of Arteluce, the company founded by Gino Sarfatti. His work has been awarded by the Accademia di San Luca and the Milan Triennale, and regularly exhibited and published worldwide. Vittoriano Viganò left us in 1996, but his contribution to Italian architecture will remain forever in history. For the Astep brand, he designs the VV Cinquanta collection of vintage lamps. This lamp collection features an articulating direct light source that can rotate and tilt, from direct work light to uplighting. The suspension model is a sophisticated luminaire with a characteristic double stem structure, perfect for creating dynamic lighting compositions. The wall model and floor model are equally striking, with an inviting and playful design that encourages play with light.
