Luciano Bertoncini

 

Born in Feltre in 1939, Luciano Bertoncini moved to Treviso in 1957, to work in Vittorio Rossi’s architecture studio. Together they created the Zattera bed for the Cjfra company, a very emblematic piece of the Space Age era.

In the same futuristic spirit, Bertoncini worked with Joe Colombo, who, as the artistic director of the Elco company, decided to include the Gronda coat hanger in the catalog.

This model had a great success and was awarded a the second prize in the Abet Print competition in 1971.

Joe Colombo died suddenly in 1971 and Bertoncini had to take on his project for the seminal New-York exhibition, « Italy: the new domestic landscape.
