The cutlery series was named after its designer Luigi Caccia Dominioni.
He was born in Milan in 1913 and graduated from the Faculty of Architecture at the Politecnico in Milan in 1936. In the same year, he began his professional career in Venice in collaboration with Livio e Pier Giacomo Castiglioni and won the competition of the Vimercate school.
His activities in the field of industrial design made him a "pioneer" at the VII Triennale in Milan thanks to the series of radios he designed together with the Castiglioni brothers.
The "Caccia" cutlery series can be found in the Museum of Modern Art in New York; it was designed in 1938 by Luigi Caccia Dominioni and Livio e Pier Giacomo Castiglioni.
This simple, charming cutlery was produced by Alessi from 1990 and has been a top seller ever since. It stands out in particular for its slim and extremely elegant elongated shape.
