Dino Gavina (1922-2007) began his career in the 1940s working on stage sets. Visual arts were a great passion for Gavina, a passion that was formed at the La Soffitta theater in Bologna. In the 1950s, Gavina met Lucio Fontana, who insisted on taking him to Milan while preparing the X Triennale di Milano (Milan Triennial) (1954). While in Milan, Fontana introduced Gavina to several prominent architects of the time, including Carlo De Carli, Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, Carlo Molino, Enzo Mari, and Carlo Scarpa. But it was with Lucio Fontana that Dino Gavina started a lively collaboration; in fact, it was Fontana who directed Gavina toward industrial design. In 1960, Dino Gavina founded Gavina SpA, the company that would eventually manufacture the designs of the important Italian designers of the 1950s and 1960s, such as the Castiglioni brothers, Carlo and Tobia Scarpa, Cini Boeri, Vico Magistretti, and Mario Bellini.
