Antonio Vitali

Antonio Vitali (1909–2008) was a Swiss master of the carved wooden object — a designer who studied at the Bauhaus-inspired Zurich School of Applied Arts and spent his career creating beautifully rounded, sensory-rich wooden forms. Originally conceived as handcrafted toys for his own children, Vitali's animals and figures transcend their origins to become objects of sculptural elegance for any shelf, desk, or table. In 2022, a licensed re-edition of his most celebrated works was released in solid walnut and maple, crafted in Italy and Germany to the same exacting standards as the originals. MetropolitanDecor.com carries Antonio Vitali re-editions as an authorized retailer — objects that are equally at home in a child's room or a design collector's study.
