Jonathan De Pas, Donato D'Urbino & Paolo Lomazzi

Italian
Drawing from their individual and collaborative experiences, Jonathan De Pas (1932-1991), Donato D’Urbino (1935), and Paolo Lomazzi (1936) commenced their partnership in 1966, delving into diverse realms such as industrial design, interior design, exhibition design, urban planning, and architecture. Emerging during the vibrant 1960s, they embraced the avant-garde ethos of pop design, gaining renown for iconic creations like the "Blow" armchair in 1967 and innovative pneumatic structures, including an inflatable tunnel for the 14th Milan Triennale in 1968. In the following decade, their contributions to Italian design flourished, producing timeless classics such as the Joe sofa (1970), the Duecavalli chair (1970), and the Sciangai coat hanger (1973).
 
Their achievements were acknowledged with numerous accolades, including the prestigious Compasso d'Oro in Milan in 1979. Beyond their practical endeavors, they contributed significantly to design theory through collaborations with institutions like the Association for Industrial Design (ADI), the Politecnico of Milan, and the IUAV of Venice. Today, their legacy endures in the permanent collections of esteemed museums worldwide, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, and the Milan Triennale.
