Claudio Silvestrin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Claudio Silvestrin (b. Zurich, 5 September 1954) is an Italian architect and designer, and a British citizen.

He studied under AG Fronzoni in Milan and at the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London. From 1986 to 1988, Silvestrin worked in partnership with John Pawson at their London studio Pawson Silvestrin Architects. In 1989 he established Claudio Silvestrin Architects, with offices in London and, from 2006, in Milan.

Considered a master of contemporary minimalism,[1] Silvestrin is admired by international architects and designers, such as Giorgio Armani, Terence Conran[2] and Kanye West. He is known for serene spaces and simple, essential forms of his architecture and interior design.[3]
