Romeo Rega was an Italian furniture and lighting designer celebrated for glamorous, geometric pieces that defined 1970s Italian chic. Born in 1904, he became associated with a refined blend of modernist lines and luxurious materials, especially brass, chrome and glass. His eponymous brand, reportedly launched at the end of 1969, produced coffee tables, lamps, chairs and cabinets often marked with a distinctive double “R” logo and remained active until the early 1980s.
