Luca Meda (1936-1998) was born in Chiavari, Italy, but grew up and studied in Milan, where he graduated from the Brera Art Academy. He continued his studies in Germany at the Hochschule für Gestaltung in Ulm, one of the world’s most prestigious design institutes. A crucial moment in his career was his encounter with Aldo Rossi, with whom he opened a studio and participated in numerous competitions, for instance for the Museo di Storia Contemporanea in Milan. Architect but also designer, he skillfully combined these two spheres with creative verve in projects ranging from urban design to furnishings conceived to explore new functionalities. From the end of the 1970s, he devoted himself to the design of objects manufactured in series. He worked mainly for the companies of the Molteni Group, developing furnishings and partition systems that have become design icons, for instance the bookcase Piroscafo with Aldo Rossi, the chairs Zim and Ho, the armchair Vivette, and the sofa Primafila, for Molteni&C; the kitchens Banco and Nuvola, for Dada; the fitted wall systems Progetto 25 and P4 and the Misura furnishing systems, for UniFor.
Dada - Banco kitchen
Everything in Banco revolves around the self-supporting aluminum structure that carries the thin line of the workbench.
To the main structure, heart of the cooking and cleaning functions, are anchored the under-the-counter containers; the empty space provides the whole volume with lightness and elegance. An ergonomic and functional kitchen that brings into a domestic environment a great chef’s workstation.
The real plus of this kitchen are the infinite composition solutions made possible by the different element heights. Besides the aluminum finishing, Banco is now available in two different versions: painted white and anodized black for modern Italian kitchens that go beyond the classical white and black ones. A collection designed by Luca Meda for Dada, bound to become an evergreen.
