Paolini was an ambitious person in the positive sense of the word; his was a creative vision inclined to innovation. Indeed, one of Cesare Paolini's main goals was to create something new that would be able to win over both audiences and critics.

The turning point in his career, as previously mentioned, took place in Turin, precisely in the 1965. In this fateful year, in fact, the collaboration of the Genoese designer was born with his two illustrious colleagues, Piero Gatti e Franco Teodoro. The three worked together on different projects, in sectors that had affinities between them, such as design, furniture, architecture, graphics, product development and image, and many other subjects.

The apex of Cesare Paolini's career came when, together with his two colleagues, he created the Sacco armchair by Zanotta. This object was able to be at the same time both beautiful to see and useful in homes or environments of various kinds.

Thanks to such a success, the three designers enjoyed incredible fame for years and Cesare Paolini was invited to numerous exhibitions and events focused on the art of interior design.

Paolini continued his work with passion, until his untimely death in 1983, when the designer was just 46 years old.
