The Caccia Dominioni archive, privately kept, contains documentation relating to the activity carried out by the architect since 1936 in the sectors of building and architectural planning, furnishings, design, urban planning.

The brand, which the architects called Azucena after the gypsy from the play Il Trovatore, was created both to collect some of their furniture projects to furnish the buildings they designed and, conversely, to be able to individually produce some furniture that was part of the furniture series they designed. This gave rise to a series of pieces that became iconic - above all the "Catilina" chair - characterized by the union of different, but always refined, materials and the revival of traditional stylistic forms. In 2018, acquired by B&B Italia, which wanted to preserve and relaunch it, in an active vision of Italian heritage, the historic brand returned to the market with a series of "modern classics" designed by the architect Luigi Caccia Dominioni starting from the late 1940s. Chairs, sofas, tables and lamps that have written the history of Made in Italy design and that return today as a testimony of class and quality. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
