Additional Information

Designer: Guido Andlovitz

Guido Andlovitz (1900 - 1971) Italian designer, ceramist and architect. During the First World War, he moved to Florence to attend the Galileo Galilei Institute and to Milan to graduate from the Milan Polytechnic. In the crest of his fame he is inspired by French products, and then approached German and Viennese themes, contributing to the Futurist movement. Guido Andlovitz experiments as a production manager by dedicating himself to the creation of artifacts characterized by shapes and decorations that manage to combine high design with mass production. In the 1920s he designed innovative objects without decoration for SCI (eg Vase 1316). During his career he also ventured into the production of interior design for the Meroni company based in Lissone.
