Antonio Citterio has earned a reputation for his design and craftsmanship- primarily for his work in product and interior design. In the last two decades he has also expanded into the architectural sphere with accomplishments in public and private design. His ability to control the scale of a project has been recognized worldwide as the new standard of "Made in Italy" excellence. His design work is in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Architecture and Design Museum of Chicago.
