Thank you . Mr Willy Rizzo . All time favorite piece . White as the season ! _________________________________________________ Reach out > SACRECOEUR DESIGN STORE daily 12-18 . 2920 Charlottenlund _________________________________________________ Fittingly, Rizzo’s first commission came from Ghighi Cassini, the American Hearst newspaper columnist and socialite who coined the term "jet set" to describe the socialites and socialite lifestyle that Fellini immortalised in La Dolce Vita. Willy’s work for Cassini effortlessly blended noeclassicism with modern styles and its success brought a swathe of Italian high-society to him. Willy Rizzo was uniquely placed as a designer for the Dolce Vita, being himself a part of the world for which he was designing. Such as Rodolfo Parisi, Gigli Rizzi and Franco Rapetti, were some of his earliest clients. Salvador Dalí commissioned a number of pieces, as did Brigitte Bardot for the interior of La Madrague in St. Tropez. By 1968, Willy’s work was in constant demand, leading to the setting up of his own firm and the establishment of a factory just outside Rome at Tivoli, which employed over 150 staff, including the original team from his early apartment transformation. Over the following ten years, Rizzo designed and produced more than thirty pieces of furniture, including the famous TGR REVOLVING Table .. #tgrtable #revolvingtable #willyrizzotable #willyrizzodesign #willyrizzophotographer #legendary #jet-setdesigner #italiandesign #ladolcevita #gioponti #ettoresottsass #willyrizzo #carlomollino #carloscarpa #marcozanuso #castiglioni #gabriellacrespi #gaeaulenti #ginosarfatti #oliviermorgue #jeanprové #sergemouille #pierrepaulin #warrenplatner
