RICARDO FASANELLO

1930-1993

Born in Sao Paulo in 1930, he demonstrated talent from an early age, designing and building sailboats, lofts and his life passion, building racing cars.

His career was catapulted onto the international scene in 1968, with the debut of the Fardos chair, a daring ergonomics meets avant-gardist vision. Fasanello’s free-spirited imagination was boosted by his genuinely artisanal creative process, constantly experimenting with materials and forms and testing new ways of doing things.
