Luigi Caccia Dominioni
Olivari Designers
Milan, 1913-2016
Proudly independent of the Italian architectural panorama, Caccia Dominioni designs several residential buildings in Milan, from the house in Piazza Sant’Ambrogio (1947) to one in Piazza Carbonari (1961). These manage to intertwine modern architecture with affection for tradition. This same aristocratic attitude is found in his products like the Catilina armchair (1958) for Azucena, a company he cofounds.
He designs many brass, glass, and resin handles. They are all initially conceived for specific buildings and then so successful that they are marketed.
San Babila, Olivari, discontinued
— Saint Roman, Olivari, discontinued
Saint Roman and Montecarlo handles, appear in the Residence du Parc S. Roman in Montecarlo, built between 1975 and 1982 by Caccia Dominioni himself. San Babila, designed in 1968, is a popular addition to many settings, including the residential complexes at Milano San Felice in Segrate.
