Description
Italian Mid-Century Modern pendant lamps designed by Luigi Caccia Dominioni for during the 1950s, possibly for Azucena.
The pair of lamps are identical and both have hardware in blackened brass as well as a glass shade in opaline glass. We have purpously not restored this piece but rather left it in the original condition to keep patina and to prove their age. Can of course be rewired and polished to look as new upon purchase.
"Luigi Caccia Dominioni (born December 7, 1913, Milan–died November 13, 2016, Milan) was an Italian designer and architect born in Milan from a noble family of Novara. After completing his studies at the Leo XIII Institute, he graduated with a degree in architecture in 1936 from the Politecnico di Milano, where he met many of the influential architects and designers of the time, such as brothers Livio and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, Cesare Cattaneo, Giannino Bernasconi, and the founders of Studio BBPR. Also in 1936, Luigi Caccia Dominioni started his professional activity in Venice, and, with Livio and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, he won the competition held at the Vimercate School.
In 1937, he opened a professional studio with Livio and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni and won several design competitions. It was through this partnership that in 1938 they created the first radio designs for the Phonola company, which were later perfected and presented at the 1940 VII Triennale di Milano (Milan Triennial). From 1939 until 1943, he suspended his professional activity to serve in the military during World War II, but in 1943, at the establishment of the Salò Republic (the regime imposed by Nazi Germany), he refused to continue serving the Italian military and fled to Switzerland until the end of the war.
Leading Representative of the Milan Style
He is considered a pioneer industrial designer and one of the leading representatives of what is called the “Milan” style, a concept developed by architect, writer, and BBPR founder Ernesto Nathan Rogers in the late 1940s as the unique design approach of Milan that included technique, theory, and a profound attention to craftsmanship. In fact, it was with this craftsmanship that Luigi Caccia Dominioni found a special affinity; by his own account, he found pleasure and inspiration from his frequent collaborations with the many wood, glass, stone, and metal craftsmen of Milan."

To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.
If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item's Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.
Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.
Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.

If a Customer changes their mind or decides for any other reason not to purchase the Goods before they have been dispatched, they can cancel the order on the Site and receive a refund.
The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to the customer's specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.
If the Customer cancels an order after an item has already been marked as dispatched for delivery, the delivery costs are non-refundable.
To cancel the order, the Customer must follow the cancellation procedure on the Site by clicking on Create Cancellation on the order page.
Can I return an item?
At Vinterior, we understand that sometimes a piece may not be the perfect fit once it's in your home. That's why we offer a 14-day return policy, allowing you to return any item within 14 days from the date of delivery for any reason.
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund or to have the issue fixed when possible.

Types of returns and responsibilities
Change of mind return
Consumers can return the goods due to a change of mind. Once a return is requested, the buyer is in charge of shipping the goods back to the seller and should organise it as soon as possible. Shipment costs to and from buyers are non-refundable.
Item not fit for purpose
Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.
Damage in transit
Vinterior must be informed of any damage in transit. If Proovia delivered the items, Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf of the Vendor with the delivery company. If the seller organised a delivery, they would be asked to raise a claim with their courier. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.
How to request a return
To initiate a return the customer needs to log in to their Vinterior account and click Create a return on the order page. In the return request, the reason for the return must be included along with photos of any damage of the Goods, if faulty.
How you will be refunded?
Once the item is returned to the Vendor in the same condition, the Vendor will confirm receipt of the item, and Vinterior will refund the original payment method.
If an item is returned to the seller damaged or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund, and the seller may have to send it back (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.
What can't be returned?
As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer's specific requirements.
Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.
Vendors may refuse a return of an item if the Customer has altered it in any way.
Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
