Rodolfo Dordoni is able to design so that the subject is modern, Italian and expensive. His style - luxurious simplicity - is in demand and accepted by top brands with international reach. Not every designer can create a timeless subject, when the year of publication of the product does not affect its relevance.

Successful art director Cappellini, Artemide, FontanaArte, he remains the permanent architect of the image of Minotti and Roda. Bureau Dordoni is occupied not only with orders for furniture and light Italian factories, but also set design, interior design, architecture of public spaces. Architect Dordogne manages to design a lot, diverse and exclusively in the premium segment. At the Milan Furniture Salon, traditionally the leading flagships of the Italian luxury industry demonstrate its new items.

However, his gift is not exhausted in commercial bustle, and his collections over the years do not look like yesterday. Dordogne himself says: “It is important for me to be modern and preserve identity. The main thing is to follow yourself, like a tuning fork, to keep your convictions, individual taste. An incredible informational wave moves on us, people try to react to changes. It is necessary to distinguish between which challenges to respond and which ones should be missed. ”

While still a student at the Milan Polytechnic, the Dordogne met Giulio Cappellini. Dordogne became the art director of his company Mondo (1987). It was a great experience, because apart from Giulio and Rodolfo, the young company had no one. They had to do everything, even pack products and take phone calls.

Dordogne, unlike many fellow designers, has little to do with image. He believes that skills are more important than PR. However, their natural hobbies know how to apply correctly. For example, he likes to cook. “Being in the kitchen allows me to maintain a good mood and fun. I like when everything is well seen when cooking, like in a science lab. It's comfortable". Kitchen manufacturers not only listen to his advice, but also, when convenient, remind you that the Dordogne is an expert cook.

Since 1998, he has worked closely with Minotti. “When we first met the Minotti brothers, they said that I should come up with a new way to present furniture. Now every year we present a topic that brings together different subjects. The first was the House of Cigar Smokers. Now it is not very popular, but fifteen years ago, smoking was not considered something particularly bad. Successful was the theme of One World, in which we invested dual significance - the global world and the world of our travels. The idea is to mix national tastes into something new that everyone will like. ”

Dordogne admits that earlier it was easier to combine work for different brands, because they all had a specialization. Now everyone does everything. But, tacking, the Dordogne manages to maintain individuality. Such is his gift - to determine the face of the Italian furniture suite.
