Tomaso Buzzi (1900-1981), a figure of great humanistic and literary culture, distinguished himself as one of the main designers of the Italian twentieth century, garden architect, restorer and inventor, as well as decorator of important noble palaces. He was a professor for furniture at the Polytechnic of Milan, which he shared with Gio Ponti. He had very close relationships with the Novecento Milanese group (Muzio, Cabiati, De Finetti) and soon began a long and fruitful collaboration with Gio Ponti, which extended from architecture, to urban planning, to design, to participation with articles and interventions on the pages of “Domus”, the prestigious magazine founded in 1928 by Ponti himself. Buzzi was one of the protagonists of the most important artistic events of those years, had prominent organizational roles in national and international events on applied arts. The applied arts constitute one of the privileged terrains in which Buzzi's creative imagination materializes, and he was involved in the design of furniture, ceramics, lace, lamps, clocks and all types of furnishing objects.
