Tacchini is an Italian company created in 1967 by Antonio Tacchini. All products are made in the Brianza area between Milan and Como with a strong manufacturing and artisan tradition. This allows the company to directly control their quality, minimize pollution and energy consumption resulting from their transportation. Tacchini has always collaborated with the great masters of design such as Achille Castiglioni and Gianfranco Frattini and still today continues on a path of re-editions that challenges and teaches contemporaneity.

Gianfranco Frattini, born in Padua in 1926, was an Italian architect and designer. Having graduated in architecture from the Polytechnic of Milan in 1953, he worked in the studio of Gio Ponti, his professor, before opening his own staff. His professional activity focused in particular on interior furnishings and industrial design. He participated in numerous exhibitions and exhibitions, winning several awards for his projects. In 1956 Frattini was among the founders of the ADI association, Association for Industrial Design, for which he carried out numerous tasks. He took part in various congresses, conventions and Furniture Fairs all over the world. Some of his products are exhibited at the MoMa in New York. He died in Milan in 2004.
