Willy Rizzo, famed celebrity photographer and furniture designer, died in Paris on Feb. 25, aged 84.
Willy Rizzo’s furniture design channelled the sophistication of Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier, his pieces combining clean, simple lines with bold geometric forms and a delicate handling of materials. His lack of formal training in furniture design placed him outside Italy’s strong, indigenous design traditions, making his style utterly unique at the time.~ wikipedia.org
