This pouf was designed by franco albini in italy during the 1960s. This piece is fantastic as the rattan is shaped in a unique way, biggest canes composing the structure while the top part is made of curvy intertwined smaller bamboo canes. The overall result is breathtaking, a simple yet elegant piece of italian midcentury design. A wonderful item that will enrich with warm tones every ambient where it's placed. Franco albini's extraordinary architectural ideas emerge in their purity and poetry of form, mixing form with fantastic materials. A must for lovers of mid-century rattan design, as this pair fits perfectly into a modern living room and will add a touch of the french riviera. Franco albini (17 october 1905 – 1 november 1977) was an italian neo-rationalist architect, designer and university instructor in design. A native of robbiate, near milan, albini obtained his degree in architecture at politecnico di milano university in 1929 and began his professional career working for gio ponti. He started displaying his works at milan triennale. In 1930 he opened his own practice. Through his creations, the modern furniture design merged the italian traditional artisanship with the new forms of modernism. In his creations, he used raw, inexpensive materials. He exploited the very skilled italian craftsmanship. This also meant an elegant design based on a minimalist aesthetic. One of his first successful works in 1939 was a radio, encased in glass, so to show its internal components. In 1928 albini designed the now-iconic "albini desk", combining steel, glass and wood with a striking minimalistic balance, and introduced by knoll in 1949. In 1950 he designed the famous and fashionable "margherita" and "gala" chairs, made of woven cane. In 1952 he created the "fiorenza" armchair for arflex; in 1955 the "luisa" chair; in 1956 the "rocking chaise" for poggi. In the 1960s he worked on industrial design as well as important architectural projects. In 1961 he designed the rome rinascente building. Three years later he designed with franca helg and bob noorda the milan metro line 1 subway stations, and from 1969 also milan metro line 2 subway stations. In 1964 the television set he created for brionvega was displayed at the milan triennial xiii. In the same year, he created various lamps for arteluce. Albini worked for companies including brionvega, cassina, arflex, arteluce and poggi. He was also an architect and interior designer. Among others, in 1945 he created the zanini fur shop located in milan. As writer and editor, from 1945 to 1946 he worked for the italian magazine casabella. In the 1950s and 1960s he taught interior design at the venice school of architecture (università iuav di venezia). From 1963-1977 he taught design at milan polytechnic (politecnico di milano). Albini obtained three compasso d'oro awards, the most prestigious italian design prize. less
