An Italian architect, designer, and set designer, Cesare Lacca was primarily active in the 1940s and 1950s. A key figure in postwar Italian design, he designed furniture, seating, and furnishings characterized by elegant forms and a refined use of materials. He collaborated with leading Italian manufacturers, including Cassina. His works were presented in important international contexts as early as the early 1950s, contributing to the emergence of the new Italian design.
