Martini Faloni Fois Architetti was a design bureau founded by Piero De Martini in collaboration with Laura Falconi and Francesco Fois. The company designed several lamps for Reggiani. Piero De Martini, born in Milan in 1939, is the most well known designer. He graduated in Architecture in 1964. Although rooted in architecture, this creative studio earned recognition for their avant-garde lighting designs, especially in the Space‑Age aesthetic, frequently created for Reggiani Illuminazione. They were very creative in channeling the positive and futuristic vibes of the Space Age into practical and beautiful design lamps that still look fresh today.
Since 1969 Piero De Martini began to design and in 1975 he began to collaborate with furniture maker Cassina. In addition to his activity as a designer, he dedicated himself to music. In 2018 Piero De Martini wrote the book “Le case della musica” (The houses of music) published by Il Saggiatore.
