SERGIO ASTI (1926 - 2021) was an influential Italian architect, industrial designer, and interior designer. From his studio that he established after graduating from Politecnico di Milano in 1953, Asti cast a broad creative net, designing furniture, lighting, glassware, wood products, ceramics, electrical appliances, interiors, stores, and exhibitions for a wide variety of European and international companies.

In 1956, he became a founding member of ADI (Associazione per il Disegno Industriale), an association that brings together professionals, researchers, teachers, critics, and journalists from around the world to promote and implement the most conducive conditions for the design of goods. Asti’s work has been exhibited widely, including at The Museum of Modern Art in New York.
