Gae Aulenti

Gae Aulenti (1927, 2012) was a pioneering Italian architect and designer renowned for her transformative approach to space and her seamless fusion of architecture, interior design, and furniture. She gained international acclaim for her conversion of the Gare d'Orsay train station in Paris into the celebrated Musée d'Orsay, completed in 1986. Her multidisciplinary practice spanned decades and left an indelible mark on modernist and postmodern design, with her furniture and lighting pieces regularly appearing at major auction houses worldwide.
