CACCIA DOMINIONI - Luigi Caccia Dominioni

Luigi Caccia Dominioni was born in 1913 in Milan, where he graduated in architecture in 1936. In the same year he began practising in partnership with Livio and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni and together with them he developed a reputation as a pioneer of industrial design. Their collaboration resulted in some particularly important projects of a series of radio sets for Phonola and a wide research on cutlery. His 'Caccia' cutlery range comes from this research and is on permanent display at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. From 1950 to 1980 he designed numerous buildings in Italy and across Europe - the Viboldone monastery, the churches of St. Biagio at Monza, the housing estates at San Felice in Milan and at Monticello, the Parc San Roman skyscraper in Monaco. He also reconstructed the Poldi Pezzoli Museum in Milan.

LCD01 Caccia Cutlery Range - Alessi, - Tablewares & Cutlery
Gio Ponti designed the basic pieces of this range way back in 1938, and presented them at the Milan Triennale Exhibition in 1940. In its day, the set was a masterly example of how craftsmanship was stretching out a hand to the industrial future of housewares. As such, the Alessi Caccia Cutlery model can be seen as a milestone in the history of cutlery design. Its shapes are soft and rounded, yet elegant and slender, a wonderful play on the thickness of the pieces.Alessi began making this cutlery in 1990 in co-operation with Luigi Caccia Dominioni - fifty years after the original basic pieces had appeared, he designed the missing items to create a complete set.

A very comprehensive range. Please see Options and Pricing for more details on the FULL CACCIA RANGE.......
