Made by Azucena Italy 1905 - 1999.

Born into a family of architects, in his university years he took a part in the Italian Modern Movement. He graduated in engineering from the Politecnico di Milano university in 1928, received his degree in architecture from the IUAV in 1949. Leader of important cultural events, like CIAM in 1952 which he founded, with others. In 1947, Gardella founded the Azucena Agency with Luigi Caccia Dominioni, the first that inaugurated Italian design production of high quality. Gardella designed primarily decorative furniture objects. In the ?50s he came closer to regionalist currents, but his buildings also maintained an abstraction that distanced them from the most famous works of Neoliberty or Neorealism. In the '60s and '70s he seemed to adhere to a strictly professional form of practice like the Modern Movement or the International Style. His Uffici Alfa Romeo (1969) opposed the use of industrial materials and the development of a complex program. But then again, Gardella strictly controlled the form, imposing a symmetrical composition.
