Furry godmother

Post-war Italian artist Nanda Vigo, the doyenne of daring design, conceived the ‘Due Più’ chair, an unconventional seat made of two‘Napoleone’, a table characterised by a classic 1970s mirrored top. Founded in 1870, Acerbis has produced work by some of Italy’s most pioneering designers, including Massimo and Lella Vignelli, Vico Magistretti, Gianfranco Frattini and Giotto Stoppino. Their iconic works (as well as Vigo’s) form part of Remasters, a series of editions that reinterpret prominent archival pieces. For Acerbis’ art directors Francesco Meda and David Lopez Quincoces, the Remasters series is a powerful tool for keeping the company’s legacy alive.
