Maker: Born in Italy and educated at Milan Polytechnic, Osvaldo Borsani worked for his father's workshop before founding the Tecno brand with his brother. A company with both strong engineering and design principles, some of their innovative and iconic pieces are in the permanent collections of museums around the world
Curator: As part of the Poet and/the Bench small-batch maker philosophy, we believe there are treasures of objects in existence from other eras that both deserve our artistic appreciation and reuse for the health of the planet. For our Found collection, we primarily collect from the 50's-70's, including Mid-Century Modern from Scandinavia, Japan, Europe and the US as well as German Op Art. We visited Copenhagen and wrote a short post about on our Travelogue, and if you're a mid-century fan, we highly recommend the Designmuseum Danmark.
