Aldo Rossi, designer

Aldo Rossi

Aldo Rossi (1931–1997) is one of the most acclaimed Italian architects of the second half of the 20th century. One of his best-known works is the cemetery in Modena, Italy, which Rossi designed in 1971. The cemetery's buildings – like many of Rossi’s other works – exhibit the strong colors, clear geometry, and ironical historical references typical of postmodernism, but Rossi himself claimed he was not part of the movement. “I cannot be postmodern, as I have never been modern,” he is said to have said.

Aldo Rossi has designed pieces for the following brands:

Rossi was also the first Italian architect to be awarded the prestigious Pritzker Prize.
