Azucena
Vintage Azucena furniture is elegant and inviting — the esteemed mid-century Milanese manufacturer’s wall lights, armchairs and side tables, which are marked by simple symmetry and thoughtfully contrasting materials, can likely be found in the living rooms of design lovers all over Italy.
Azucena was founded in 1947 by three leading figures of 20th-century Italian architecture: Luigi Caccia Dominioni, Ignazio Gardella and Corrado Corradi Dell’Acqua. The trio initially established Azucena in order to furnish the interiors of buildings they’d designed but found a robust business opportunity in manufacturing individual pieces from those collections for postwar consumers. And as the company founders borrowed the brand name from a conniving character in the Giuseppe Verd opera Il Trovatore, it is appropriate, then, that the furniture for which Azucena is known is practical but exudes a hint of playfulness.
The best of Italian modernism combines cheekiness and bold functionality with provocative and thoughtful design, and Azucena is deeply rooted in that tradition. While its brass-and-walnut mid-century-modern-era dining tables and stackable coffee tables — created by the likes of Dell’Acqua and Vico Magistretti — are exceptionally unobtrusive in small spaces and framed in clean lines, Dominioni designed chunky, enveloping armchairs during the 1970s upholstered in striking red fabric.
Among Azucena's most successful and iconic designs is also Dominioni's most famous piece of furniture: the minimalist Catalina chair. After it debuted at the Milan Triennial in 1957, the Catalina chair, with its generously curving enameled steel frame and plush leather cushion, became an instant sensation. Dominioni’s other enduring designs for Azucena include the Monachella lamp, the ABCD armchair and the versatile Cilindro ottoman.
Italian furniture manufacturer B&B Italia acquired Azucena in 2018 and has reissued a number of designs from the legendary brand’s portfolio, such as the Imbuto lamp, the Catalina armchair and the Cavalletto table.

- Corrado Corradi Dell'Acqua Set of Two T12 Montecarlo Tables by Azucena 1949By Corrado Corradi Dell'acqua, AzucenaLocated in Montecatini Terme, ITA set of two Montecarlo (T12) side tables with a simple and elegant brass structure and tabletops in crystal, they are the perfect companion for any seats, beds, or desks. The brass structure present a pleasant patina due to the age of the tables. Designed by Corrado Corradi dell'Acqua and manufactured by Azucena during the 1950s. Corrado Corradi Dell’Acqua (Milan 1905 – Varese 1982) was a law expert, an amateur writer, and silently became a designer. His dachshund’s name was Azucena, as the gipsy of a Giuseppe Verdi’s opera. After all Maria Callas was hosted after the dress rehearsal of the legendary 1955’s Traviata, at La Scala, that Luchino Visconti built around her Violetta. Azucena was also the name of the company Corradi had started in 1947 with two other young Milanese intellectuals, Luigi Caccia Dominioni and Ignazio Gardella – the last one had already been his schoolmate at the Liceo Berchet, and would have later joined him in many other projects. The premises of his adventure had materialized in two different editions of the Milan Triennial Exhibition. In 1933, Corradi had presented his black nickel and copper bookends, and in 1939 he had exhibited a silver and golden copper tea service wrapped in the coils of a snake. In those objects, the simplicity and the elegance of his future works could be foreseen but not fully recognized. Some years later he would have designed objects such as his lamps made with glass from Milan tramcars, his two-seat sofa for an intimate talk, his saddle-shaped armchairs that forced the body in a perfect posture, his little-tree-shaped photo frame that could be wore as a cameo collier, or his marble ashtray with pestle...Category
