About Sergio Asti
Born and raised in Milan (1926), Sergio Asti started working in the Lombard capital in the 1950s, soon after earning an architecture degree from the Politecnico. In that very period, he rapidly established himself as one of the pioneers of industrial design and was among the founders of ADI, of which he is currently an honorary member.
“The care for materials and manufacturing processes of a great industrial designer such as Sergio Asti gave birth to Mapan, a collection based on simple shapes that manage to display, albeit discreetly, the peculiar “liquid” origin of crystal.”
A perfect cylinder that becomes quadrangular approaching the bottom, assuming an almost-liquid materiality. A celebration of crystal that is both ergonomic and pleasing to the eye.
