LP10 Bidone wall light by Luigi Caccia Dominioni for Azucena, 1950s. Caccia Dominioni is perhaps the most important architect of post-World War II Milan. His designs had a great impact on the reconstruction of the devastated city, while paving the way for the new style that would be called "Milanese rationalism" by historians and critics. But in addition to being a prolific architect, author of some of the city's most famous residential buildings, he also worked extensively as a designer, dealing with lighting and furniture. In 1947, together with colleagues Ignazio Gardella and Corrado Corradi Dell'Acqua, he founded Azucena. The brand, named after a flower, was active for many years in the field of high-end design. After a stop of several years, Azucena was revived and continues to produce the pieces for which it became famous in the past; however, it is the original pieces that drive collectors crazy at auctions and on the vintage market. The LP10 lamp proposed here, nicknamed "Bidone" because its shape resembles a milk can (in italian, "bidone del latte"), is indeed part of the first production, as the details and patina suggest. The glass shade is probably original and in any case corresponds exactly to the original in shape, length and diameter. The lamp is fully functioning and was recently rewired by a professional electrician to ensure its safety during use.
