Rodolfo Dordoni

As a designer, Rodolfo Dordoni has created a career of collab­o­ra­tion, through design­ing furni­ture and objects for the home with a wide array of compa­nies. Born in Milan in 1954, Dordoni grad­u­ated with a degree in archi­tec­ture from Milan Poly­tech­nic. He soon began design­ing for Artemide, working on their glass collec­tion; even­tu­ally becom­ing their art direc­tor. Dordoni then tran­si­tioned to working for Cappellini from 1979 — 1989. He has since created lines for or work directly with Cassina, Minotti, Flos, Dorn­bracht, Fontana Arte, Moroso, Roda, and Venini. In 2005 he created his own archi­tec­ture firm, Dordoni Archi­etti, which focuses on archi­tec­tural plan­ning, inte­rior design, and exhibit design. His work is often consid­ered to be simple and intu­itive; much of his design process goes beyond the object itself and focuses on the market­ing campaign that will feature the piece or line.
