Paolo Rizzatto
Italy, 1941
Paolo Rizzatto was born in 1941 in Milan, Italy, where he studied architecture at the Milan Polytechnic. In 1968 he opened his own studio and worked on lighting, architectural and interior design projects. In 1978 he founded Luceplan together with Riccardo Sarfatti. With the 265 Lamp collection, Rizzato’s work was recognized internationally.
This collection would be followed by the Berenice Table Lamps and the Titania Hanging Lamps, which are reminiscent of floating submarines (both created in collaboration with Alberto Meda and produced by Luceplan). The Costanza series of lighting represents his work at its best, ethereal and uncluttered.
Over the years Rizzatto has received many important national and international awards for design, including three Compasso d’oro Awards, 1981, 1989 and 1994. His creations are part of the permanent collections of museums such as the Wave Hill Museum Centre for Environmental Studies, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the National Museum of Science and Technology in Milan.

Since its founding in 1957, Danese Milano has epitomized the fusion of artistic flair and utilitarian design. Initially shaped by icons like Bruno Munari and Achille Castiglioni, the brand has evolved by incorporating the visions of contemporary designers like Michele De Lucchi and Richard Hutten. Known for its functional yet aesthetically pleasing products, Danese Milano remains at the forefront of design innovation.
The brand's strength lies in its ability to reinvent everyday items into elegant solutions, making it a staple in design circles worldwide. Danese Milano is its collaboration with architects and designers across generations, seamlessly integrating classic influences with modern dynamics to iconic pieces like the Falkland lamp, Formosa calendar, and the Elica bookstand.
