Azucena - Cavalletto 210x140 oval marble table
Azucena-Tavolo-Cavalletto-210x140-longho-design-palermo

Cavalletto is a table designed by Caccia Dominioni in 1941 for his marital home. He found it so pleasing it followed him in all his subsequent moves and was added to the Azucena catalogue in 1948.
Its frame is simplicity to a T, a drawing on a sheet of paper that has magically materialised into a full-sized table. The architect drew inspiration from the easels (cavalletti) he worked on at Milan’s technical university, the Politecnico. This single object epitomises all the key elements of Luigi Caccia Dominioni’s design: sophisticated curves, clean straight lines, a creation that meets its specifications, is easy to use, simple not mundane and portrays the beauty of minimalism. Thanks to being balanced and proportioned, Cavalletto will never show its age and proudly continues to enjoy contemporary classic status that will last long into the future.

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.
