"Crespi’s aesthetic was characterized by dualities, pairing modernist functionality with an eye for the baroque, and shifting between clean lines and sensuous curves. When she died aged 95 in 2017, she left behind a repertoire of more than two thousand pieces, spanning furniture, jewelry, and sculpture – all imbued with an eclectic style that embraced both the organically whimsical and the formally geometric."
"In her iconic rattan furniture designs, a worldly Milanese sophistication is conjured from one of nature’s most humble-seeming materials. Crespi designed the Bohemian 72 Collection in the spring of 1972 from the terrace of her home in Milan. Alongside the renowned ‘Rising Sun’ and ‘Five Positions’ Collections, Bohemian 72 was part of Crespi’s wider ‘Bamboo Collection’, designed between 1972 and 1975. Crespi’s career-long mission was to create furniture that seamlessly unites indoor and outdoor living." See less
