Cini & Nils
Brands
Cini & Nils was established in 1969, when two designers began to feel the need to offer their project directly to the market. A variety of products were developed by the combined efforts of Mario Melocchi and Frannco Bettonica, many of which have since been acquired by the New York Museum of Modern Art. In 1972, an idea by Franco Bettonica led to the creation of the Cuboluce, a link in the chain between dècor accessories and lighting. These were soon followed by other innovations: Gradi, whose lighting body comprises a minute enamelled glass cylinder; Tenso 2500W, the first 230V cable system, miniTenso, the smallest 230V cable system that bridges a gap of only 15 cm and so many other innovations.
