Gae Aulenti (1927-2012) was a prolific Italian architect, art director and product designer renowned for her post-war style and industrial designs. She was the art director of FontanaArte and designed a range of modern, innovative pieces. Aulenti was one of few women in the field at the time and is regarded as one of the most iconic figures in Italian design and architecture.
