Conceptual model. 180 million years ago the Earth was very different from today, there was one sigle large piece of land in the middle of a single large sea. There was a super-continent called Pangea and only one big ocean called Tethys. Men weren’t there yet and everything was also more peaceful.Then the continental drift started and, right as a consequence, the drift of civilization. This process is still continuing and, through collisions of tectonic plates, inner tensions, volcanic eruptions and athmosferic events, it continues distancing single worlds separating them with oceans of different mentalities.Nothing doing. It is a force, intrinsic to the planet which, even in a time where we can reach every place of the planet in a few hours, it acts deeply, dividing and discerning, distancing ad separating.

Michele De Lucchi: A Biography

Early Life and Education

Michele De Lucchi was born in Ferrara, Italy, in 1951. He received his architectural degree from Florence University, setting the stage for a career that would challenge conventional design norms. His formative years coincided with a period of radical experimentation in architecture and art, profoundly influencing his artistic trajectory.

Radical Beginnings & Influences

De Lucchi emerged during a time of significant upheaval in the design world. He became a key figure within movements like Cavart, Studio Alchimia, and most notably, the Memphis Group. These groups rejected the austerity of Modernism, embracing playful forms, bold colors, and unconventional materials. His early work was heavily influenced by artists and designers who questioned established aesthetics and sought to create a more expressive and human-centered design language.

Design Career & Notable Works

De Lucchi’s career spans both industrial design and architecture. He has designed iconic lamps and furniture for leading Italian and European companies, including Artemide, Olivetti, Alias, Unifor, Hermès, and Alessi. Some of his most recognizable works include:

  • Casetta 256: A modular system showcasing playful design
  • Pangea: Demonstrating innovative use of materials and form

Beyond product design, De Lucchi has undertaken numerous architectural projects, including building designs and restorations in Japan, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy. He’s worked with major corporations like NTT, Deutsche Bank, Novartis, Enel, Olivetti, Piaggio, Poste Italiane, and Telecom Italia.

Architectural & Corporate Projects

In 1999, De Lucchi was commissioned to renovate a series of Enel power plants, demonstrating his ability to blend aesthetic sensitivity with functional requirements. He also played a crucial role in developing the corporate image for several prominent banks and organizations – Deutsche Bank, Deutsche Bundesbahn, Enel, Poste Italiane, Telecom Italia, Hera, and Intesa Sanpaolo – introducing both technical and aesthetic innovation into workplace environments.

Museum & Exhibition Work

De Lucchi’s involvement extends to the cultural sphere. He has contributed to building plans for significant museums including the Triennale di Milano, Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome, Neues Museum in Berlin, Fondazione Cini in Venice, and Gallerie d’Italia. His work consistently demonstrates a commitment to creating spaces that are both functional and inspiring.

He transitioned from the radical experimentation of his early years to a more refined and sophisticated approach while retaining a commitment to innovation.
