Designer: Franco Albini, born in Robbiate (Como) in 1905, is one of the main figures of the rationalist movement in the field of architectural creation, furniture, industrial design and museum design. In all of his production, from domestic spaces to works of industrial design, not to mention museum fittings, Franco Albini always guarantees logical coherence, great purity of expression and great ethical and historical integrity. Between architecture and design, Franco Albini’s work represents the keystone of the architectural culture of Italy at the beginning of the 20th century, due to an intense activity focused on creativity and rigor of composition and construction that express particularly high aesthetic levels. -
