Giuseppe Terragni (1904–1943) was one of the leading architects of Italian Rationalism and a central figure in the development of modern Italian architecture. Born in Meda and active mainly in Como, Terragni studied at the Polytechnic University of Milan, where he developed a rigorous and innovative architectural language. His work emphasizes simple geometric forms, reinforced concrete structures, and transparency, with a strong focus on the relationship between function, space, and social use.
Terragni realized some of the most iconic works of the 20th century, including the Casa del Fascio in Como and the Sant’Elia Nursery School, which exemplify the principles of Rationalist architecture through clarity, balance, and structural logic. Despite his premature death at the age of 39, Terragni left a lasting legacy that continues to influence contemporary architecture and design.
Sant’Elia Nursery School (1936–1937) – Furnishings
For the Sant’Elia Nursery School, Terragni designed simple, functional, and child-scaled furnishings, extending Rationalist principles to interior design. He created tables, chairs, and storage units with essential forms, affordable materials, and rounded edges to ensure safety, autonomy, and order. Terragni conceived architecture and furnishings as a single rational system, reinforcing his vision of design as a unified, socially oriented project.
