Eugenio Gerli

Eugenio Gerli was one of the most influential figures in Italian architecture and industrial design. Co-inventor with Osvaldo Borsani of the Graphis working system (1968), he designed several icons for Tecno, including the PS142 and S142 armchairs. Throughout a career spanning architecture, interior design and product innovation, Gerli worked extensively in Italy and abroad, developing projects for public spaces, offices, hospitality and private residences. His long-standing collaboration with Tecno and the Borsani brothers played a key role in shaping the company’s design language from the 1960s to the 1980s, resulting in timeless products where research, function and form merge seamlessly.
