After graduating in architecture from the Politecnico di Milano, Viganò began his career working with renowned designers and architects such as Gio Ponti and Franco Albini. These collaborations greatly influenced his own approach to design, in particular his desire to create functional and aesthetically pleasing objects and spaces.
In the 1940s and 1950s, Viganò emerged as one of the most important figures in Italian design. He designed a wide range of products, from furniture and lighting to household objects and appliances. His creations were distinguished by their elegant simplicity, innovative use of materials and attention to detail.
Among his most famous creations are the "Atomica" pendant lamp (1949), the "Lady" chair (1951) and the "Algol" coffee table (1954). His designs were both functional and aesthetically appealing, and helped shape the style of Italian design at the time.
In addition to his contributions to product design, Vittoriano Viganò was also involved in interior architecture projects. He worked on a number of residential and commercial projects, where he sought to create harmonious, ergonomic spaces with the needs of users in mind.
Vittoriano Viganò's career enjoyed great success until the mid-1960s. However, as trends and public tastes changed, his reputation declined and he gradually withdrew from the world of design. He died in Milan in 1995, leaving behind a lasting legacy in Italian design. His work continues to influence contemporary designers and to inspire admiration for his aesthetic vision and quest for functional excellence.
