After the construction of the Molteni family funeral chapel, begun between 1980 and 1982 and completed in the mid-1980s, Carlo, Luigi and Piero Molteni introduced the architect to a field he had never worked in before: designer furniture. Right from the project for the Cabina dell’Elba, one can understand Rossi’s attitude toward the creation of furniture as domestic architecture.Thus was created a wardrobe that adopted the form of a cabana (changing cabin, beach hut). Presented at the Salone del Mobile in 1980, the Cabina dell’Elba remains a prototype of which only four versions were produced.
