Born in Lissone (Milan) in 1946, Pietro Arosio trained professionally in the research centre of a company specialised in the production of metal furniture for collective spaces. From this experience was born a design philosophy that developed over time, through his activity as an industrial designer, which began in 1972 and was already recognised with the ‘Casaviva d'Oro’ award in 1983. Essentiality, research into new materials and technologies, attention to detail and for the engineering phases, are fundamental elements of his work. However, Pietro Arosio does not neglect the emotional aspect of the product, also through collaboration with internationally renowned artists such as Nespolo, Del Pezzo, Hsiao Chin, Tilson, Rotella, Keizo. Some of his works have been exhibited at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and at the Die Sammlung modern art museum in Munich.
