About
Why this artist matters now
Flaminio Bertoni was an Italian designer and engineer best known for his work with Citroën, where he shaped the aerodynamic and conceptual language of postwar automotive design. His most significant contribution was the technical and aesthetic development of the DS, a car that redefined expectations for form, engineering integration, and manufacturing possibility in the 1950s. Bertoni's approach merged sculptural intuition with rigorous structural thinking, establishing a model for industrial design that prioritized both innovation and accessibility.
