Elio Fiorucci (1935 to 2015) was an Italian fashion designer from Milan. His first store, opened in 1967 in the Galleria Passarella, introduced Milan to London and American youth culture and grew into an international label that defined lifestyle fashion. He received the Ambrogino d'Oro in 2006, and the Triennale di Milano dedicated a space to his work in 2007.
For Riva 1920 he designed the Nano Sculpture, a symbolic icon of his fashion house carved from a single block of scented cedar. Standing 45.5 cm high, it carries the playful spirit of his work into a natural material.
