470 Pilotta
Rodolfo Dordoni (2007)
Description: In designing the Pilotta Collection, Dordoni stays clear of working on elementary geometric lines or the essential nature of a conceptual approach. His path is rather the modeling of the outlines, the study of the joints and structural cross-winds as the occasion to create a real and proper shape-and-form grammar with constructional technology. Wholehearted simplicity that redeems the force of the triangle and diagonal elements.

In this his first design work for Cassina, Rodolfo Dordoni has come up with a collection of extraordinary lightness and constructional know-how,authentic structural cabinet-making joinery and taut leather surfaces. This is a project that inevitably calls up not only a comparison with the great legacy of Gio Ponti, but also the teaching of Franco Albini.
