Overview
Design by Luigi Caccia Dominioni with Livio Castiglioni, 1938.
By Alessi.
Originally designed in 1938 and presented in silver at the 1940 Triennale, the Caccia series of cutlery won praise for the balance it struck between an image of craftsmanship and the industrial future of household objects. It has been shown at the Museum of Modern Art in New York (MoMA).
"Caccia" was reissued by Alessi in 1990, thanks to an agreement with the Castiglioni brothers and with Luigi Caccia Dominioni, and after extensive philological research to complete the series with the missing pieces. Made of 18/10 mirror polished stainless steel.

Born in Milan in 1911, Livio Castiglioni graduated in architecture from the Polytechnic of Milan in 1936. He started working with his brothers Achille and Pier Giacomo immediately after the war focusing their attention mainly on city planning, architecture and particularly on design. All the experiments and studies on design were possible thanks to the many exhibitions they designed and where Livio worked as light and sound technician.

Alessi. Art and Poetry.
Alessi is a family owned Italian design company, founded in 1921. Giovanni Alessi, a talented sheet metal worker, produced items by hand for the table and home out of copper, brass and nickel-silver. He was later joined by his son Carlo who was responsible for many of the designs produced in the 1930s and early 1940s. In the mid 1940s Alessi began to work with outside designers. The current Alessi catalog is the result of a collaboration with over 500 designers from all over the world.
"A true work of design must be able to move people, to convey feelings, to trigger memories, to surprise, to go against the grain. From this point of view, design intended to conjure up images in people's minds, which makes them a bit happier, still has tremendous potential." — Alberto Alessi
