The Imbuto lamp, designed by Luigi Caccia Dominioni in 1953 for Azucena, takes its name from its funnel shape. It is composed of a conical metal lampshade, available in metallic grey or white finishes, mounted on a thin stem in brass or chromed brass. The base is made of black painted cast iron.
Azucena
Founded in 1947 by Luigi Caccia Dominioni, Ignazio Gardella and Corrado Corradi Dell'Acqua, the Italian brand Azucena has always stood out for its collections that combine formal elegance, understated luxury, pure and clean aesthetics and extremely high manufacturing quality.
Luigi Caccia Dominioni
Luigi Caccia Dominioni (1913-2016) is one of the main Italian architects and urban planners of the post-World War II period and one of the precursors and founders of Italian design, a brilliant interpreter of the Milanese and Lombard tradition. He began his professional career immediately after graduating in 1936 from the Polytechnic of Milan with the opening of a studio in Porta Nuova together with the brothers Livio and Piergiacomo Castiglioni, dedicating himself to interior architecture, design, industrial planning, competitions and installations. In particular, his activity in the field of industrial design sees him as a "pioneer" at the VII Triennale of Milan with a series of radio devices designed with the Castiglioni brothers.
