Cascina detta Lualdi

Envision a time long before sleek showrooms and international acclaim. Cascina detta Lualdi’s story begins in 1860, not in Milan, but in the town of Magenta. Carlo Lualdi, a craftsman with a vision, established a humble carpentry workshop. This workshop, dedicated to high-quality, bespoke designs, became the seed from which the Lualdi empire would grow. Cascina detta Lualdi’s journey took a pivotal turn in the latter half of the 20th century. A partnership with architect Luigi Caccia Dominioni transformed the company. Dominioni, a mentor and friend, guided Lualdi towards a groundbreaking innovation. The LCD door, coated in lacquer, was born. This wasn’t just a door. It was a revolution, introducing industrial design to door production for the first time globally. This innovation cemented Cascina detta Lualdi’s place in design history. The 1980s witnessed Cascina detta Lualdi’s expansion into the international arena. A project for the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development launched them into the UK market. Their reputation for quality and Italian elegance spread. Collaborations with prominent European architectural firms followed. A fateful meeting with Carl Magnusson, designer for Knoll, propelled Cascina detta Lualdi across the Atlantic. Their American conquest began with a prestigious commission. They crafted the doors for the City Bank Tower in New York. Cascina detta Lualdi’s sleek designs, combined with their flexible production, captivated the American market. Today, Cascina detta Lualdi stands as a global ambassador for Italian design excellence. From its humble beginnings in Magenta, it has blossomed into a global presence. With showrooms in Milan, Miami, and New York, Cascina detta Lualdi’s legacy continues to shape the world of design.
