Giuseppe Raimondi (1941–1997) was an influential Italian designer and architect, central to the renewal of Italian design in the 1960s and 1970s. After graduating in 1967 in Turin, he became the artistic director of Gufram from 1966 to 1970. During this time, he collaborated with artist Ugo Nespolo to create iconic pieces such as the modular sofa Margherita (1966) and the chairs Alvar (1967) and Mozza (1968).

Raimondi’s curiosity for new materials led him to collaborate with companies like Cristal Art and Saint-Gobain, producing mirrors, tables, and lamps that explored light and form. In 1970, he founded the studio A.ba.co, and later opened his own studio in Turin in 1977.

As an architect, he oversaw the renovation of the Sala Storica dello Pneumatico at the Carlo Biscaretti Automobile Museum. In 1987, he received the prestigious Compasso d’Oro award for his Delfina chair, produced by Bontempi. His works are part of major collections, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Raimondi was also active as a writer, publishing in specialist magazines and authoring Abitare Italia (1988), chronicling thirty years of Italian design.
