History
When Mario Melocchi teamed up with the architect and designer Franco Bettonica to found the company in 1969, the duo started out by marketing a range of products; many of which have been bought by MoMA in NYC, including the Bar, Tabletop and Desktop collections, the swivel Magazine Stand, the Cubobar and the Game Table.
Designer
It was in 1972 that Franco Bettonica came up with the idea for Cuboluce. The link in the chain between an object and lighting created a new generation of products that marked CINI&NILS’ début in the field of lighting.These were soon followed by Gradi, whose structure comprised an enamelled glass cylinder, and then Tenso, the first line voltage cable system.
