Franco Albini

Franco Albini (1905–1977) was an Italian architect and designer based in Milan, a leading figure of Italian rationalism and a key contributor to twentieth-century furniture design. His work combines structural rigour with material lightness, producing pieces of remarkable formal precision such as the Veliero bookcase, the Cicognino table and the Infinito wall storage system.He taught at the Politecnico di Milano and the IUAV in Venice, influencing generations of Italian designers and architects. The 3D Model Unity catalog includes high-precision NURBS 3D models of Albini pieces re-edited by Cassina, available for Rhinoceros 3D.
