Images that speak of discreet, almost intimate moments: the secret rooms are revealed,
as are their inhabitants. The great Tacchini house opens its doors, exposing instants stolen
from an everyday life built on care and attention for materials and tools, but also for
the people that handle them with such dedication. A place where everyone has a role,
and everyone is part of a unique story.

The design is Italian, the rest
is production. And in Italy, design
companies bear the names of the
families that founded the brands.
Like Tacchini, created in 1965 by
Antonio, when production, too, was
almost entirely Italian, and the most
poetic and soul-stirring passages
in the story of design were written.
Naturally in time the children
become the heirs, and the new
founders, in a rationale of continuous
updating and redefinition of the
underlying idea, and that is what
is actually handed down. Equally
naturally, those who frequent the
family become a part of it: team
members, consultants, suppliers,
employees, workers and clients.
Still today, in this family,
the strength of the idea is central
to every creative process, in a
logical process of evolution, from
the analysis of the idea to the three
dimensions of the object, before
ultimately becoming the essence
of living. This ongoing process
ensures a sense of connection with
contemporary style, which is then
further enhanced by the choice of
quality materials and leading-edge
technology, and always referencing
an all-important tradition, so as to
avoid the danger of confusing style
with fleeting fashions and design
with simple mass production.
Inevitably, the story of a family is
reflected in the places they inhabit:
the headquarters of a company
mirrors the people who work there
and the philosophy to which they
aspire.
