Cavalletto

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 epitomizes 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.
