Albini's design activities covered many spheres, from furniture and product design to architecture, planning and museum design. He became associated with the Rationalist Movement in the 1930′s, a modernizing outlook which often informed the clean, articulate forms of his products and buildings. He often experimented with radical solutions, as in his radio design of 1938, where he set the loudspeaker between two sheets of glass and an experimental shelving system of 1940. At the IX Milan Triennale of 1951, although not typical of his work as a whole, he designed the Margherita cane armchair for La Rinascente?s garden terrace display, for which he was awarded a Gold Medal. From the 1930′s to the 1960′s he was commissioned to design furniture and lighting for many other companies such as Poggi, with which he had a close working relationship from 1950 to 1968. Amongst the designs for Poggi were his knockdown table of 1951, the Luisa armchair (awarded a Compasso d?Oro in 1955) and the PS16 rocking chair of 1956. His designs for Arflex included the Fiorenza chair; other companies he worked for included Bonacina, Knoll, and Fontana Arte.
