Designed by Gianfranco Frattini
Still considered today one of the most characteristic and complete collections ever designed by Frattini, Serie 500 was born from careful observation of the need for a new way of living, and new functions filtered by the designer?s aesthetic sensitivity and his historical memory. Serie 500 writes another page in the collaboration with the Gianfranco Frattini Archive and a new chapter in the history of Tacchini: storage cabinets. Traditional elements are reinterpreted in new functions. Unexpected compartments open the doors of memory and recall the warmth of home. The first two pieces re-edited by Tacchini, the sideboard, Model 500/3, with three container elements with shutters and the high sideboard, Model 500/4, with two-plus-two shutters, were designed following a concept of modularity ante litteram, which begins with a bench element ? a curved wooden base strengthened by a T-shaped element that makes it non-deformable ? and then involves the addition of various modules in length and height.

Respecting the thought of Gianfranco Frattini, the re-edition of Sesann keeps the spirit of the product intact. The particular configuration of Sesann – both formal and functional – constitutes the basis for a system of products characterized by the same structural elements, but declined in unique and fascinating objects. This approach of synthesis and reduction, […]

Split expresses an elegant, immediately recognisable character, aside from its size, form and colour that lend coherence to the most diverse solutions and compositions in any given space. This is the concept behind the Split collection, a complete system of tables for both the home and contract interior, available in four different forms: coffee table, […]
From the first piece of bent metal, Umberto Bellardi Ricci experiments with shapes and reflections to capture and refract light as if it were coming from the curves of a spiral while the light source remains embedded in the initial fold. Designed for Tacchini, the Ancora rolled mirror captures light in the metal curves and […]
A luminous sphere seems almost suspended in time and space. A metal structure seduces the gaze with its striking simplicity and the boldness of its construction. The extroverted Dana by Jean-Pierre Garrault and Henri Delord fits perfectly into the constant search for timeless pieces carried out by Tacchini: a lamp with a strong personality. Born […]
Snug and cosy, like the sweet refuge of an embrace, Shelter draws its inspiration from a design that has gone down in the history of modern seating: the Egg armchair designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1958 for the Royal Hotel in Copenhagen. Following in the footsteps of this iconic design, and above all echoing the […]
