Azucena - Cilindro pouf velvet lining and chrome base

This perfectly-proportioned masterpiece of elegance is the quintessence of form and style. In the shape of a two-tier cylinder, the lower part is made of brass topped with a velvet, woollen cloth or leather seat top. Cilindro and its many reworking can be spotted on the set of legendary films, in chic apartments and the smartest nightclubs, bars and restaurants the world over. Cilindro is much more than a design object - its minimalist lines make it a punctuation mark in any setting, large or small.

Luigi Caccia Dominioni

Luigi Caccia Dominioni was born in Milan on 7 December 1913, in the family home in Piazza Sant'Ambrogio, a house that he rebuilt after the destruction in the bombing of August 1943.

He completed the entire cycle of studies, up to the Liceo classico, at the Istituto Leone XIII in Milan, run by the Jesuits. In 1931 he enrolled in the Faculty of Architecture at the Regio Istituto Tecnico Superiore (future Politecnico di Milano). During his university studies he met Livio and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, Cesare Cattaneo, Giannino Bernasconi - the future BBPR - and his teachers were Luigi Moretti and Piero Portaluppi.  He graduated in 1936 and obtained a professional qualification in Venice. In 1937, with the brothers Livio and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, he opened a professional studio: together with them he participated in various competitions, obtaining brilliant results.  The first realization in the field of industrial design, together with them, dates back to 1938 and concerns some models of radio equipment for Phonola, later improved and presented in 1940 at the VII Triennale di Milano; At the Triennale, the three architects also stand out for the setting up of exhibitions and the production of other design objects, such as Miracoli cutlery. His professional activity ranges from design to architecture and takes place mainly in Milan.
