Born in 1927 in Italy, Gae Aulenti is one of the few women architects to enjoy complete responsibility for the projects in which she becomes involved. Characteristics of her work are her love of nature and her trust in engineering. For Aulenti, architecture is both art and concrete science. Her best known furniture designs are the Tavolo glass table for Fontana Arte and the April folding chair for Zanotta, both stocked by Aram.
