Giovanni Offredi's earliest known furniture design works consist of exemplary furniture made specifically for some of Milan's wealthy families. In the late 1960s, Giovanni Offredi met Sergio Saporiti, owner of the Italian design store and furniture manufacturer Saporiti, and in 1970, Offredi formalized a collaboration with the furniture manufacturer, which was to be long and fruitful resulting in numerous highly precise, distinctly modern and innovative furniture designs that went on to considerable commercial success.
