With humble beginnings in Italy in 1860, Lualdi became a legacy of innovation and craftsmanship that has been spanning for over a century. In the 1960s, in collaboration with architect Luigi Caccia Dominioni, the brand revolutionised interior designing with the introduction of LCD - a groundbreaking technology that merged industrial design with door production. Since then, this impressive level of creative and technological experimentation has brought Lualdi into collaborations with some of the world’s most influential contemporary architects.
