Rodolfo Dordoni

Rodolfo Dordoni (1954-2023) is one of the leading figures in contemporary Italian design. Refined, measured and elegant, through his creations he proposes a timeless, sober and elegant style, capable of never going out of fashion. Milanese by birth, he has had the opportunity to work with all the major brands of Italian and international design: from Poliform to Molteni & C., from Cassina to Flou, from Flos to Poltrona Frau. He was also the art director of several important brands: Cappellini (from 1979 to 1989), the company that launched him in the firmament of great Italian design, yet another great discovery by the greatest talent scout in the history of design, Giulio Cappellini; Foscarini, which led to it becoming one of the leading Italian lighting brands and Roda (since 2006), with which it was the first to bring high-end luxury design to outdoor spaces. However, his greatest successes remain those obtained with Minotti, a brand that under his artistic direction (since 1998) has grown and developed on all international markets, to become one of the most shining examples of success of Made in Italy in the world.
