Andrea Zagato, CEO of Zagato

We catch up with Andrea Zagato, a dear friend and the CEO of one of the most influential design firms in history. Founded in 1919 by Andrea’s grandfather, Ugo Zagato, the Milanese studio has remained not just relevant, but at the forefront of beautiful and functional automotive design. Andrea is the third generation of the family to run the business, and he has pushed the brand forward rather than rest on its past accomplishments. Besides discussing the brand’s history in general terms, Andrea also points to five Zagato designs as being the most definitive.
