Italy, circa 1960

p.56, ill.25.
The Chesa Laria design is characteristic of a post-war era shaped by the radical changes of modernization: the need to reconcile the technological advances of industrial development with a look to historical continuity. Utilising modularisation and a pronounced aesthetic simplicity, Caccia references both the past and present, with a playful take on shape and line (as with the boldness of the finials). Epitomizing the values of the Milanese aristocracy to which he was born, the sofas manage to combine the broad scope of cultural memory with an instinctive formal restraint, his work offering a meticulous synthesis of historical awareness and imaginative audacity.
Seat height: 48.5cm / 19"
