Duccio Trassinelli was born in Florence, he studied at the Institute of Industrial Design of his town, school where he then stopped as a professor of Design Methodology for a decade. In 1970 he founded the  STUDIO A.R.D.I.T.I., the starting point for a collective exploration of a new concept of use and shapes in the furniture world. At that time were born his  historical projects, such as the B.T., Ponte and Prismar lamps that are  in the permanent collections of the MOMA in New York, the Pompidou Center, Paris and the Vitra Design Museum, Germany; the Memoria armchair, awarded in 1973 by Bolaffi Casa as Design of the month and today in the permanent collection of the Cassina Museum.
 Over the course of his career Trassinelli has ranged in heterogeneous fields, from plant engineering to the prefabricated industry and the design of electronic instruments, from urban design to the contract for public and private istitutions. He has registered numerous invention patents. Today Trassinelli continues his activity in lighting design, where he was among the first to experiment with low voltage.
Key words of his work: method, pioneer, technology as a poetic resource, zero compromises, technical knowledge, modern tradition, play, freedom in space.
