Trained from a very young age in the family furniture company, Osvaldo Borsani took part in the V Milan Triennale in 1933, with the "Minimal House" project, which was awarded the silver medal. After graduating from the Milan Polytechnic, he met and collaborated with important artists such as Lucio Fontana, Agenore Fabbri, Aligi Sassu, Roberto Crippa, Fausto Melotti, and Arnaldo Pomodoro. In 1953, together with his brother Fulgencio, he founded Tecno, a project to which he would dedicate his entire life. His first industrial design works were the P40 variable-tilt armchair (1953) and the D70 sofa with invertible seat. In 1968 he created the Graphis office system (together with Eugenio Gerli, which was distributed worldwide in a million copies), thanks to which Tecno became an internationally renowned manufacturer of office design products. At the end of the sixties, Osvaldo Borsani created the Tecno Project Center with Marco Fantoni and Valeria Borsani.
