From 1971 to 1975, he was editor of the magazine Casabella, then from 1977 to 1980, editor-in-chief of the design magazine Modo, which he directed until 1983. In 1973, he produced a critical exhibition on radical Italian design for the IDZ - Internationales Design Zentrum - in Berlin. From 1975 to 1977, he was secretary-coordinator of the Visual Arts-Architecture section of the Venice Biennale. In 1979 and 1980, he was in charge of the Raccolta del Design at the Milan Triennale, an institution for which he produced several exhibitions in the early 80's. He produced architectural projects, fixtures, exhibitions, books, scenography, interiors and objects for leading international design companies. His relationship with FontanaArte dates back to the early '80s, when, under the artistic direction of Gae Aulenti, he worked with Daniela Puppa to design layouts for events featuring the company. From the late '80s onwards, he signed a number of successful projects for the company: the Velo (1988-89), Flute (1999) and Drum (2005) lamp families.
