A versatile artist, Eleonore Peduzzi-Riva will mainly deal with public and private architecture. Equally relevant, in her long career, is her interest in design, which will make her a prominent artist of the 1960s. He collaborates with important companies such as Artemide, for which he designed the Vacuna table lamp in 1968 and the iconic Spiros ashtray in 1969. Still of great interest today is the DS-600 sofa, designed together with Ueli Berger, Heinz Ulrich and Klaus Vogt for De Sede. During the 1970s he will collaborate for Vistosi together with the greatest designers, such as Vico Magistretti, Gae Aulenti and Ettore Sottsass. Eleonore Peduzzi-Riva was able to grasp the need for an era greedy for changes in the field of design. In 1972 he exhibited at the XXXVI Venice Biennale. Today he lives and works between his hometown and Milan
