Borsani, Gaetano

Gaetano Borsani (1885–1955) was an Italian furniture maker and founder of Atelier di Varedo, a workshop established in the early 20th century near Milan.

Trained as a craftsman, he specialized in finely executed wooden furniture, often combining solid construction with refined decorative details. His workshop produced custom interiors and furnishings, laying the foundation for the family’s design tradition.

In the 1930s his son Osvaldo Borsani joined the atelier under the name Arredamento Borsani, later evolving it into Tecno, the industrial design company that became internationally recognized after World War II.
