Bruno Gecchelin was born in Milan in 1939[1]. In 1962 he developed studies and research on gas cookers and compact refrigerators for Indesit and began designing furniture elements for Gruppo Industriale Busnelli[2]. In the same period he joined the design office of Olivetti in Ivrea,[3] directed by Ettore Sottsass and based in Milan. He remained there for about fifteen years designing electronic machines and terminals as well as office furniture[4].
In 1976 he became a freelancer and after graduating in Architecture from the Milan Polytechnic he opened his own studio and began collaborating with numerous companies. Product design expands to different areas.
He designs a series of car accessories for the Fiat Panda; he designs upholstered furniture and seats for Poltrona Frau and office furniture for Ycami. With Fratelli Guzzini he conceives a complete line of kitchen tools and housewares made of thermoplastic material and expands the range of gift items in fine materials by Rede Guzzini.
He also devotes himself to bathroom furnishings by designing accessories and complements in thermoset material for Metaform. He designs an integrated and modular system, functional for the Japanese market, for Matsushita's bathroom division. He also designs several lines of air conditioning elements for Aermec and Kelvin Italy.
During his career, his passion for technology led him to specialize in the design of lighting fixtures for which he also takes care of the lighting engineering part. There are more than one hundred lamps designed in more than forty years of activity that alternate between decorative or office models[5] and technical products for commercial, museum and urban lighting. The main companies he has collaborated with are O-Luce, Skipper, Arteluce-Flos, Antonangeli, Venini, Matsushita, Tronconi, iGuzzini Illuminazione, Ivela, Raat, and Reggiani Illuminazione.
Several international awards including BIO Ljubljana, IF product design award in Hannover, and three Compasso d'oro awards: the first in 1989 for the Shuttle spot series produced by IGuzzini Illuminazione,[6] the second in 1991 for the AGH 171 New heat pump produced by Aermec-Riello,[7] and the third in 2004 for the Latina juicer produced by Fratelli Guzzini
