About Massimo & Lella Vignelli
Lella (1934–2016) and Massimo Vignelli (1931–2014) were Italian designers who worked mainly in the United States. Their work ranges from graphic design to furniture, often built from simple geometric forms and clear layouts.
In 1971, they established Vignelli Associates studio in New York where they showcased their elegant style characterized by structural purity, while also strengthening connections with Italy and Europe through projects like branding for brands such as Lancia and Ducati. Their impact extended to furniture design, with Knoll as their primary client, where they not only shaped the visual identity but also designed products. Additionally, they collaborated with revered Italian brands like Acerbis, Poltronova, Arteluce and Casigliani, expanding their creative footprint across borders.
