Mario Dal Fabbro 1913-1990
3 pieces
of furniture.













Born in Italy in 1913.

"MARIO DAL FABBRO studied both at the R. Superior Institute for Decorative and Industrial Arts at Venice, and the R. Magistero Artistico. He graduated with high honors in 1937. Before his advanced education, Dal Fabbro worked in his family's furniture design shop.

Always able to combine the theoretical with the practical aspects of construction, Dal Fabbro's early experience helps account for his later success in the technical and creative fields of furniture design. Between 1938 and 1948 -- before immigrating to America -- Dal Fabbro created designs for private individuals and various furniture houses in Milan.
