Daniela Puppa

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Daniela Puppa (* 1947 in Fiume Veneto ) is an Italian industrial designer who became known for her designs for the lighting, furniture and textile industries.

Life

Puppa completed her architecture studies at the Milan Polytechnic in 1970 . She was co-editor of Casabella magazine and co-founder of Modo magazine . From 1977 she experimented with furniture, lighting technology and textile designs in the radical avant-garde group Alchimia and in the less consumer-critical group Memphis that emerged from it and broke with the prevailing rules of functionalism .

Under the artistic direction of Gae Aulenti , she and Franco Raggi designed designs for Fontana Arte in the early 1980s , which led to a long-term partnership with the company; in 1992 she designed a floor lamp for the company called Prima Signora . In addition, she designed concepts for well-known Italian manufacturers such as Artemide , Barovier & Toso , Eleusi , Poltrona Frau , Cappellini , Limonta and others. She also worked as an accessory designer with fashion companies such as Dior and the LVMH group.

Puppa took part in the Biennale di Venezia in 1980 and in the Triennale di Milano in 1981 and 1983 . She also worked in productions for the Milanese theater group Magazzini Criminali , for which she designed sets. She has been teaching in Milan at the Faculty of Industrial Design of the Milan Polytechnic, at the Libera università di lingue e comunicazione (IULM) and the Domus Academy since its inception.
