Gabriella Crespi (1922–2017) was an Italian architect and designer trained at the Polytechnic University of Milan, where she was influenced by figures such as Le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright. She began her career with the “Small Lune Collection,” a series of abstract metal sculptures, and later collaborated with Maison Dior in the 1960s.
