Umberto Asnago

Umberto Asnago, born in 1949, studied at the Istituto d’Arte in Cantù, where he honed his skills in solid wood at local carpentries. He joined Giorgetti in 1968, quickly taking charge of the Research Centre and creating numerous iconic pieces until 2006, when he ventured into freelance design. Collaborating with renowned brands like Penta Light, Arflex, and Porada, he left his mark on each creation. In 2011, he returned to Giorgetti to design a new collection. Tirelessly adapting to the furniture industry’s evolution, he began a partnership with Frigerio in 2019, crafting an innovative range that beautifully blends solid wood with leather.
