Recent Works
Sealed
Sealed is an updated wall partitioning module project that is entirely applicable to modern architectural projects. Sealed is a workspace division system that may be used to satisfy current space division needs and future expansion or re-use. The core elements of the Sealed series, particularly its modular form and free-standing metal frame, its capacity to support a wide range of accessories, and the design’s compatibility with other Citterio products, have helped to accomplish these traits. The ease of installation and takedown of the Sealed range and its ability to meet a wide range of purposes and quality criteria thanks to its double panels and spacers are also noteworthy aspects.
Recognition
In 1970, he received the Compasso d’Oro, and in 1971, he got his first prize in the Smau Industrial Design Competition.
