Willy Rizzo (1928-2013), born in Naples, was a celebrity and Hollywood photographer and furniture designer. His models include Brigitte Bardot and Audrey Hepburn. At a later stage in life, Rizzo discovered that his clientele loved his particular aesthetics and sense for style so much that he decided to design furniture. These were snapped up by his celebrity friends… Rizzo designed some thirty pieces starting in the late 1960s.
