Collection: Gae Aulenti

Gae Aulenti (1907–1996) was one of Italy’s most influential architects and designers, renowned for her bold modernist vision and sculptural approach.

Trained in architecture, she blended architectural precision with timeless elegance across furniture, lighting, interiors, and major cultural projects.

Iconic Works

Aulenti’s most celebrated piece is the “Colonnato” table lamp for Artemide (1962), an architectural icon that reinterprets classical colonnades in a modern, functional form.

 Equally significant are her lighting and furniture for important institutions such as the Palazzo Grassi in Venice and the Pirelli Tower in Milan, as well as her enduring contributions to museum and exhibition design.

Design and Legacy

Her work is prized for its refined forms and innovative use of materials, from iconic lighting and seating to cultural projects that helped define post‑war Italian modernism.

Aulenti’s pieces are held in major museum collections and remain highly collectible, embodying authentic Italian craftsmanship and investment‑worthy quality for refined interiors.
