Sergio Asti (25 May 1926 – 27 July 2021)[1] was an Italian designer and architect, primarily known for his industrial designs for firms such as Artemide, Brionvega, FontanaArte [it], Gabbianelli, Heller, Knoll, Salviati, and Zanotta.

After receiving his degree in architecture at the Polytechnic University of Milan, he opened his own design studio in 1956.

That same year he became one of the founders of the Associazione per il Disegno Industriale.

He went on to win the Compasso d'Oro in 1962 for his glass vase "Marco" manufactured by Salvati, examples of which are in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art and the Victoria and Albert Museum.

[8][9][10][6] Although primarily known for his industrial and interior designs, Asti also designed several buildings, including private houses in Brienno and Arenzano, the latter with his frequent collaborator Sergio Favre (1927–1967).
