Founded in Milan in 1946 by designer Bruno Gatta, Stilnovo quickly became one of the leading names in Italian design. Its early impact on the Milanese art scene is reflected in the review published by Gio Ponti in Domus magazine, as well as in the silver medal it won at the 10th Milan Triennale in 1954 and the prestigious Compasso d’Oro award, awarded in 1955 to the Braccio lamp. Throughout its history, Stilnovo has collaborated with some of the biggest names in Italian design, including Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, Joe Colombo, and Gae Aulenti. These collaborations have produced pieces that are now part of design history and have become true icons. The combination of research, new materials, technological innovation, and a distinct aesthetic sensibility continues to define Stilnovo’s identity—a brand that remains a benchmark for designers and lovers of timeless design.
