Michele De Lucchi is an Italian architect and designer who has been at the forefront of progressive design for more than four decades. De Lucchi was born in Ferrara, Italy, in 1951. He studied architecture at the University of Florence and graduated in 1975. In the early 1980s, he joined the Memphis Group, a radical design collective that rejected the clean lines and functionalism of modernism in favor of expressive and colorful designs. De Lucchi left the Memphis Group in 1986, but his work has continued to reflect the group's playful and irreverent spirit.

De Lucchi has designed a wide range of products, including furniture, lighting, appliances, and office equipment. He has also worked on a number of architectural projects, including the renovation of the Triennale di Milano, the design of the new headquarters for the Olivetti company, and the creation of the Officina Italia design collective.
