Design Classics

Today, half a century after their creation, the projects realized by these great masters
of the past continue to keep alive the soul of the Italian line through a series of revivals
made by Tacchini. Castiglioni brothers’ Babela and Sancarlo, Franco Albini’s Bianca
and Monzino and Gianfranco Frattini’s Agnese, Gio, Giulia and Sesann, Umberto Riva’s E63
represent the result of a meticulous collaboration among designers, artisans and producers.
Tacchini proposes these pieces with the desire to preserve and communicate the ideals
that have guided their creation. Maintaining the integrity of the original projects, Tacchini
has adapted the designer’s drawings to modern production. In this way, it has transferred
the past design culture to the present.

Design Classics
Maestri or “masters” are those charismatic figures capable of
teaching and handing down an art through their direct actions and also
through the inheritance of their actual works. In design the maestri
communicate through the classics, timeless designs far from any idea
of fashions and trends yet so powerful as to produce a style naturally.
Tacchini has set aside some rooms in its living environment for
the classics and the masters who have designed them, in a process of
revivals which are a challenge and a lesson on contemporary style.
