Alberto Meda is an engineer focusing on design, born in Lenno, in the Italian province of Como in 1945. He graduated with a laurea in Mechanical Engineering at the Politecnico di Milano in 1969. From 1973 he was the technical manager of Kartell, in charge of the development of projects of furniture and plastic laboratory equipment. In 1979 he worked as a freelance industrial designer for various companies: Alfa Romeo Auto, Alias, Alessi, Arabia-Finland, Cinelli, Colombo design, Brevetti Gaggia, JcDecaux, Ideal Standard, Luceplan, Legrand, Mandarina Duck, Omron Japan, Philips, Olivetti, Vitra, etc. Alberto Meda came to design from engineering, bringing with him a pragmatic mind, and an attention to details in materials and production process, in addition to formal concerns. This applied-science background has shaped Meda’s recognizable stamp of elegant simplicity, designs that are at once modern in form and organic in feel. It was this individual sophistication that caught the eye of Rolf Fehlbaum, the chairman of the Swiss manufacturer Vitra, who commissioned the Italian engineer to design a chair some 20 years ago. Thus began a collaboration that continues to this day, resulting in some of the most memorable seating pieces up to and including the MedaPro and the newest design from 2005, the MedaPal. == Exhibitions == *"Creativitalia" Tokio 1990, and a personal exhibition at the "Design Gallery", Matzuia Ginza in Tokio 1990. *"XVIII Triennale in Milan" 1992, "The lightness" section of "Il giardino delle cose". *"Mestieri d'Autore" 1993 in Siena *"Design, miroir du si裬e", at the section "Le sens et la mati貥", Paris 1993 *"Mutant materials in contemporary design" at MOMA, New York 1995; at Center for Modern Art, Prague 1997; at Groninger Museum- Groninger 1997 *Meda – Rizzatto exhibition at Binnen Galerie-Amsterdam 1996 Lighting Affinities, Milano 1996 *A personal at Salon du Meuble, Paris 1999 *"Italia e Giappone design come stile di vita" ?Yokohama, Kobe 2001 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alberto Meda」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
