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.

Vico Magistretti, born in 1920 in Milan, inherited his passion for architecture from his family, already renowned and active in the field and from whom he took inspiration for his future studies at the Polytechnic of Milan, where he graduated in 1945. During his professional activity, Magistretti dealt with architecture, urban planning and industrial design. In 1948 he won the Grand Prix of the VII Triennale. He participated in exhibitions and held conferences in Europe, America and Japan. Furthermore, some of the objects he designed are still present today in the permanent collections of the MoMa in New York and 13 other American and European museums. Magistretti's approach to design, which makes him one of the most important fathers of Italian design, is based on process principles, first of all the very close interaction with the manufacturing companies starting from the concept and design definition of the product.
