— Franco Sargiani

He designs several products with Eija Helander, including Alessi’s famed Program 8 in 1975. This modular system revolutionizes tableware design and is still being manufactured.

He designs many brass, glass, and resin handles. They are all initially conceived for specific buildings and then so successful that they are marketed.
