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.
