Considered one of the leading Italian mid-century modernists, Guglielmo Pecorini was an Italian designer and manufacturer active between the 1930s and 1950s. Founder of Guglielmo Pecorini & Co., he distinguished himself by producing elegant wood and woven furniture of high-quality craftsmanship. He participated in the Milan Triennale (1937) and the international exhibition "Italy at Work" (Brooklyn Museum, 1950). A still little-documented figure, his work is now highly regarded for its modernist rigor combined with the great tradition of Italian craftsmanship.
