In 1950s, together with Albini, Caccia Dominioni, Gardella and Mollino, Lacca is among the exhibitors of the furniture section of the traveling exhibition "Italy at work: her Renaissance in design today", organized by the Brooklyn Museum of New York together with the Art Institute of Chicago: the occasion, in which his furniture and objects are appreciated internationally for the elegance of their proportions, also lays the foundations of a working stay of Lacca in the United States, in the mid-1950s.
