Silvio Coppola (Brindisi, 1920 – Milan, 1985) was an Italian architect, designer and graphic designer.
He graduated in Architecture from the Polytechnic of Milan.
As an architect he designed buildings in Baghdad, university cities in Zaire, homes and hotels in various Italian cities, becoming in 1965 the design architect of the European Development Fund of the EEC. In the field of interior design, industrial design and visual communication, Coppola worked as a consultant and collaborator for large Italian and foreign industries including Bayer, Bernini, Montecatini, Monteshell, Zucchi, Cinzano, Alessi, Cassina, Parmalat, Feltrinelli.
In 1967 he founded with Munari, Grignani and others the research group Exhibition design, operating particularly in the pre-design sector.
He won the Palme d'Or for advertising in 1962 and the Rizzoli Prize in 1966. He was a member of ADI, AIGA in New York and AGI, where he served as vice-president for two years.
He taught design at the Gesamthochschule in Essen and at the University of Wuppertal.
His works are exhibited in various American and European museums.
In the history of Italian design, Bernini is an extraordinary and unique experience that draws its foundations directly from the roots of the "know-how" of wood in the Lombardy area since the fifteenth century. An attitude and availability that has produced true design and production excellence that today we can find in museums and collections all over the world.
