In the run up to Milan Design Week, we unveil the designer’s inside track on the innovative, art-filled city. Whether or not you’re in town for the Salone, bookmark her must-visit cultural spots and eateries for your next visit.
Marta hails from one of Italy's most distinguished design families. Her uncle, Luigi Caccia Dominioni, along with Ignazio Gardella, Corrado Corradi, and her mother, Maria Teresa Tosi, co-founded the renowned furniture group Azucena in 1947. Eager to carve her own design path, Marta reinterprets her family's legacy with a more contemporary vision, retailoring her heritage for a new generation.
Marta creates her globally recognised designs with exclusive materials she sources from around the world, collaborating with master artisans for their manufacture. Focusing on thematic collections, she produces bespoke furniture of exceptional quality.
