Gianfranco Frattini’s Collections for GUBI
Gianfranco Frattini was born in Padua in 1926 to a Milanese lawyer and the scion of a prominent Bergamo family. While he was still very young, they moved back to Milan – a city with which Frattini would be intimately associated for the rest of his life. He earned an architecture degree from the Politecnico di Milano in 1953, joining the cohort of polymath Milanese architects and designers who would drive the post-war renaissance of Italian design. Gianfranco Frattini is designer of the Aspide Table Lamp, the Model 597 Floor Lamp and the Model 597 Table Lamp.
