Tomaso Buzzi (1900–1981) was an Italian architect and designer trained at the Politecnico di Milano. Early on, he developed a strong interest in art and architectural history, which deeply influenced his work and set him apart from contemporary movements.
In the 1930s, he became known for a highly personal style that blended Classicism, Art Deco, and imaginative elements, standing in contrast to rationalist design. Working across architecture, interiors, and design, he created cohesive environments where furnishings and spaces formed a unified aesthetic vision.
In collaboration with Venini in Murano, Buzzi designed glass objects and chandeliers marked by refined proportions, lightness, and innovative use of transparency, helping redefine glass as both decorative and architectural.
After World War II, he withdrew from Milan and dedicated himself to Scarzuola in Umbria, a visionary project combining architecture, symbolism, and personal mythology.
