Founded in 1947 by Luigi Caccia Dominioni, Ignazio Gardella and Corrado Corradi Dell’Acqua, Azucena has always been held in the highest esteem as an Italian brand, combining formal elegance, understated luxury and an aesthetical purity in its collections, all manufactured to the highest standard.

Named after Azucena, the gypsy in the Italian opera Il Trovatore, the architects created this brand to bring together a number of collections to furnish buildings they had designed. At the same time they saw an opportunity to produce individual pieces as part of their series of furniture collections. This resulted in a range of iconic pieces - in particular the “Catilina” chair - recognisable for marrying different but very refined materials, reworked into traditional stylistic forms. B&B Italia acquired the historic brand, intending to preserve it as part of Italy’s rich heritage, and it is being relaunched in 2018 with a series of “modern classics” designed by the architect Luigi Caccia Dominioni from the late 1940s onwards. The collection includes chairs, sofas, tables and lamps that symbolise ‘made in Italy’ design and that return today as a showcase of style and quality.

This is a story about the feeling that Made in Italy design is able to evoke and about the balance of the ingredients that, like in a perfect recipe, make truly unique the experience of looking at an object, touching it and plunging into its mood.

This is a story about furnishing, that, like our skin’s extensions, become leather, hide, turning into special clothes speaking about the passing of time and tracing the lines of the future.

This is a story about a family, one that orbits around two Italian enlightened entrepreneurs, Luigi and Paolo Bestetti; it’s about the DNA characterizing the Italian family companies, sprouting from the love of a material and carrying around the manufacturing culture.

This family story starts from the hide passion and grows thanks to the human capital, the people with whom you constantly work and measure yourself. This is a young story, dating back only to 1990, but looking way back in time, to a century-old entrepreneurial tradition, flourished on the Como Lake fertile land, that has always been producing the excellence in furniture for aristocracy first and middle class after, and that today pursues in its creations for all the beauty lovers.

This is a 100% Italian story beaming into an International panorama, one that starts from the reinterpretation of the English taste and evolves, through the art of leather working and shaping, into the production of unique collections.

This is the story of Baxter.

We are a young company with a long history.

Our first Contardi branded product dates back to 2006, thereafter the company began to constantly grow year after year, and the expansion has consolidated in the last six years. Contardi is now a well-established company headquartered in the Brianza district - the beating heart of the "Made in Italy" manufacturing.

Before then, Contardi had a 30-year history of successful collaborations, providing its lighting expertise to some of the most iconic companies on the Italian design scene.

It all started from the creative genius of Michele Carcano, who had a real passion for prototypes and worked for Stilnovo – one of the first companies to build a reputation as a lighting designer.

Fast-forward to today, and Michele Carcano’s heirs – Achille and Paola Carcano – have taken the reins of the company, supported by a very close-knit team, more similar to an extended family working together, with some of its members having been part of it since its inception.

Contardi is now synonymous with service, quality and flexibility, having become a reliable reference point for architects, interior decorators and lighting consultants who are in search of original and well-designed decorative and functional lighting as well as an unparalleled expertise and service.

It all started in a small laboratory in the historical centre of the Italian town of Piacenza during the late 1980s. Davide Groppi was inventing and producing his first lamps and decided simply to use his own name for the name of the company.

Creative independence and passionate, unconventional management have allowed him, over time, to develop his own brand of original and unique products, currently distributed the world over.

Simplicity, weightlessness, emotion, creative invention and amazement are the fundamental components of each lamp or lighting project designed by Davide Groppi.

Davide Groppi creations come about through the need to give life to something that is necessary or significant.

The things that inspire these ideas are works of art, ready made objects, magic, the desire to make things with his hands or simply the urge to play and have fun with light. Light, for Davide Groppi, is a wonderful way to seduce and excite.

He has always worked with a faithful group of collaborators who share his vision and help him to develop ideas and bring them to fruition.

Over the course of many years of experience, Davide Groppi has developed products and shows in collaboration with companies specialising in design such as De Padova, Boffi, Paola Lenti and Christofle.

There have been many international projects the world over, including the illumination of houses, stores and museums.

Davide Groppi has been particularly active in the area of hospitality (hotels and restaurants). Some of the most famous chefs in the world have chosen lighting solutions by Davide Groppi for their venues, including Albert Adrià, Massimo Bottura, Massimiliano Alajmo, Moreno Cedroni, Carlo Cracco, Gennaro Esposito, Giancarlo Perbellini, Ciccio Sultanoand others.

Davide Groppi has also recognised for excellence by the press and received prestigious awards, including the Edida Award, in 2011, for the Sampei lamp; the Design Plus Award, in 2014, for the Neuro lamp; the two awards at the 23rd edition of the ADI Compasso d’Oro Awards for the Nulla lamp and for the Sampei lamp; the ADI Compasso d’Oro Mention of Honour upon our rechargeable lamp Tetatet in 2016. As part of the “Quirinale

Contemporaneo” project, inaugurated in 2019, Sampei and Origine floor lamps light up the Quirinal Palace, in particular the “Studio alla Vetrata”, one of the President of the Republic’s offices, and the “Prima Sala di Rappresentanza” respectively.

Origine also enriches the interiors of the Italian Embassy to the Holy See for the initiative “Contemporanei a Palazzo Borromeo”.

Flexform is a family affair. Now in its third generation, Flexform was founded in the Brianza furniture manufacturing district in Northern Italy. The unique global phenomenon of Italian furniture design was born in the 1960s, right here. A place where the history of many small artisan workshops that have fashioned wood, metal and upholstery since the early 1900s, intersects with that of the great masters of Italian design, trained at the School of Architecture in nearby Milan. Flexform’s roots are embedded in this historical setting.

In 1959, the Galimberti brothers opened an artisan workshop, called “Flexform di Galimberti.” It was soon followed by their first showroom where the sofas and armchairs on display found their way, in the postwar era, into elegant buildings in Milan, villas overlooking Lake Como, and even the foyer of the Teatro alla Scala.

Their children transformed the workshop into an industrial facility and, in 1967, incorporated it as Flexform S.p.A. The family’s perceptive insights led to the decision to partner with some of the leading designers of the time: Joe Colombo, Asnago-Vender, Cini Boeri, Rodolfo Bonetto and many others. During the same period, the company’s vision of corporate growth also included investing in a talented young architect-designer named Antonio Citterio, in a partnership that has continued, without interruption, for more than forty years. The 1970s brought a major shift in the company’s conception of its product line. Eschewing any repetition of past styles, production was moved more and more toward original, contemporary designs.

“Family is paramount; it is a priceless legacy of resources, inspiration and expertise. The depth of our roots allows us to look confidently to the future. Without this knowledge and understanding of our history, it would not be possible to steer the company in the direction of our best future. It is true that only those who know where they have come from can know where they are going. All of us third-generation family members are honored to be here and committed to continuing the work of our predecessors. And we are determined to uphold what is fondly known as the “we attitude”: the awareness that the real player is the team – and therefore, the brand – not the individual. There are no soloists, but rather a group that thinks in terms of the “we” and never the “I”. So, the biggest challenge for our family business is to continue to think in collective terms for the benefit of the brand.”

The 1970s also marked the moment in which the family understood the importance of opening up new markets, beyond Italy’s borders. They ventured first into the German-speaking European countries where there was a significant affinity for the company’s understated, stylish and, yes, comfortable sofas. Overseas growth became a sustained, unstoppable movement that brought Flexform visibility in the most exclusive furniture stores in America, Asia and Australia. And, on the wave of the new millennium, the company launched itself on a global path, opening a series of Flexform flagship stores around the world.

Gallotti&Radice was the first company in Italy, right from the early seventies, to promote their love for the studio and the use of glass within furniture arrangements.  Other people and companies later followed suit. This fact, presently and only naturally provides an advantage, but at the same time, also signifies a sense of responsibility in light of culture and specifically, design. Gallotti&Radice is aware of this, and has presently assumed the task and role of continuing, keeping alive, the development of "genuine" glass designs. Glass, which is simultaneously extremely fragile and strong, transparent and unchangeable, light and enduring, must be tackled, by those designing architectural arrangements, with sincere respect and careful handling, with authentic poetry (which is true creativity as the Greek etymon confirms) and with intense discipline, with patience, reverence, tenacity. With love.

Glass and associated workmanship The term glass become commonly used to indicate extremely high quality glass panels, with flat surfaces which are perfectly specular. The "float" process is used: the fused glass is drained from the oven into a watertight float. The glass floats on the liquid surface and levels out until it becomes a strip with parallel aspects.

Gallotti&Radice, with its vast experience working with glass, adopts various techniques and technologies when producing semi-finished goods which are subsequently used to achieve the end products. Two different production lines, one highly industrialised and one focusing on handcraftsmanship associated with traditions, characterise the Gallotti&Radice work cycles: on one hand, production achieved using high-level technologies and sophisticated automated mechanisms (water jet cutter, industrial grinder, sheet tempering, cleaning and translucency procedures) enable the achievement of modular and multiple components, square and simple shape sheets for serial and standard products. Keeping the tradition alive with protocols with a handcrafted feel in order to offer a customised service, providing sought after forms, exclusive solutions, relying on the experience amassed throughout the years, where expert hands work the glass with care and knowledge transforming it into a design product.

Made in Italy Gallotti&Radice designs, creates, transforms and produces solely and fully in Italy. The end products demonstrate excellence, quality of details, finishes and forms. This is possible thanks to the experience which the Company has gathered over the years, constantly growing with a well-defined objective: to produce objects designed to withstand time.

The entire production cycle takes place in-house and is characterized by a meticulous attention to detail: from the idea to the end product, passing through the various processing stages – from pressure die casting to handmade lost wax, from machining to drilling, from satin-finishing to sand-blasting and polishing.

IN OUR TRUE LIGHT

In 2014 we were missing something.  We imagined a more fluid approach to design. A form of total creation from brief to market. We saw the world ever more connected and wanted to embrace positivity. We imagined products born from supernatural daydreams where everything is possible. But can we write our own story?

First we had to go off the beaten track and break free from the Italian design establishment. Empowering our own independence. But who is going to trust us? What do we need to learn? How do we find the right artisans for our projects?

So we began as always by designing, but we needed a product that would unite our passion, both intuitive and rational.

We chose lighting due to the surprise of the immaterial, the multisensorial object that can become magical. And straight into the exhibition with 2 weeks to develop the LED light bulb because we had to dip future into the heritage of Murano glass blowing.

In this process we have learnt that we must explore our individual talents without boundaries. It is necessary to evolve and not repeat the same design cycles of the last 50 years. Today we have many routes to market and methods to express ourselves as designers.

We are finally independent, exploring new territories, creating connections that promote human dialogue and expertise, one light at a time.

WITH WHOM WOULD WE LOVE TO SHARE OUR HOMES WITH?

A simple question is our starting point in thinking about Henge, giving us food for thought and setting us free from any misconception created by the style, preconcepts, ideas and fashion waves on the market. Who, we share our homes with, is more than a piece of furniture, it is a companion in our travels, something that once it has entered our homes stay with us throughout life, setting up an intimate personal relationship that reflects our idea of what is beautiful. It is a presence that ages slowly with us, day by day taking on that distinctive sheen that only time can produce.

To choose what we will share our homes with is a difficult task for the right balance between the mind, the mere functionality and the heart which brings our sense of beauty and passion into play. Such choices must necessarily reflect our personal feelings and provoke the same pleasure day after day.

With wool, our most celebrated natural fiber, we have pushed the boundaries of design and performance to create a collection defined by excellence and rooted in heritage. 

In addition to fabrics, Holland & Sherry has developed collections which range across product categories from custom embroidery, rugs, wallcovering and trim, to leather and hardware. Every item we produce reflects our core values of quality and craftsmanship, in keeping with what Holland & Sherry started more than 180 years ago.

In 1889, the Swedish entrepreneur Ludvig Anderson established the company Kasthall in Sweden. With production up and running, word of the company's grand designs and high-quality products soon began to spread, and within years Kinna had become the heart of Sweden's textile industry. Kasthall's highly creative environment has since attracted some of Sweden's most prominent designers, such as Ingrid Dessau, Viola Gråsten, Astrid Sampe and Gunilla Lagerhem Ullberg. Kasthall and its designers have received multiple prestigious awards and honors through the years, both internationally and nationally.

The company’s roots extend well into the creative and artistic fervor of the early 20th Century, at home a abroad. Explore this timeline to discover more than 80 years of Knoll and its place in modern design history

To set the scene: the Deutscher Werkbund, formed in 1907, was born out of the confusion and concern regarding the place of the artist in the second half of the 19th Century. The Bauhaus came soon after. Meanwhile, Hans Knoll, born in Stuttgart, Germany in 1914, is the second son of Walter Knoll, a successful second-generation furniture manufacturer. His grandfather, Wilhelm Knoll, founded the family business in 1865 and built a reputation for high-quality furniture.

Walter and his brother, Wilhelm II, who followed the Werkbund movement closely, chose to redirect the business and create furniture for new modernist interiors. Hans would soon follow. Across the Atlantic, Florence Margaret Schust is born in Saginaw, Michigan, in 1917.

Living Divani is an Italian company, founded in 1969 from an intuition of Renata Pozzoli and Luigi Bestetti. Perfect, harmonious proportions and a feeling of understated luxury are the distinguishing features of this dynamic and vibrant family-owned Company that has made its trademark of upholstery.

Since the early 1970s, the Company located in Brianza, the heart of the Italian furniture district, has followed a clear path becoming one of the landmarks in the design landscape. Strategic is the alliance with Piero Lissoni who, since 1988 his dual role as art director and designer, has led the firm’s unique style, through his unmistakable stylist code.

Carola Bestetti, the second generation, joined the Company carrying on an important tradition with enthusiasm and capacity for comparison, bringing in a further breath of femininity and aesthetic sensitivity to this Company.

Driven by innate capabilities, deep involvement, and passion for the design world, in agreement with the art director and designer Piero Lissoni, launches a new phase of opening towards different languages, involving over the years professionals of international caliber, who all share the Company’s style and approach to design and young talents "discovered" through a careful work of talent scouting. Different visions that although in their unique individuality, have the same common denominator: a silent elegance.

In a gradual creative and productive process it was thus created a vast and varied offer, which orbits around the upholstery system, both for indoor and outdoor, comprising in addition to the bed collection, different complements - chairs, coffee tables, small armchairs, tables, bookcases, storage unit and carpets – to create a unique environment, from the essential and rigorous to the multifarious and eclectic one. The Styling Display Project completes and animates the refined collection of the Company: small sculptures of archetypal forms convey the idea of a "Living Divani world ".

The Living Divani collection is conceived as well for the Contract sector, where quality, technical performances and custom-made solutions qualify the Company to be active globally in different fields: offices, banks, airports, hotels, waiting areas, museums, restaurants and showrooms, up to the nautical industry.

From September 2020, Living Divani Gallery, designed by Piero Lissoni, is the brand's new Milanese outpost: a theatrical stage where to represent the infinite facets of the brand’s style, which offers through different exhibition areas, a surprising stylistic mix capable of enchanting for the perfect harmony, becoming a new place to visit in the city.

Significant acknowledgement of the path of excellence of Living Divani is the entry in 2012 in Altagamma, the foundation that gathers Italian companies of international repute, which operate at the top end of the market expressing the Italian culture and style both in the business model and the product, renowned for innovation, quality, service, design and prestige.

More than 50 years after its foundation, with over 60 employees, the presence in Altagamma, and an ever-growing global network, Living Divani is today a Company with a strong international reputation: a brand always consistent with its philosophy of rigor and clean lines, which has succeeded in reaching across the world of design with its own genuine and individual interpretation.

Founded in 1975 alongside B&B Italia, Maxalto soon developed a personal identity in the specialized production of artisan furniture. Striving for the highest standards of quality in terms of materials and workmanship is the objective of excellence inherent in the brand's very name. Indeed, Maxalto derives from the Venetian dialect terms "massa alto", which mean "the highest".

The brand's research into form looks to the past, with a revisitation of classical styles. Afra and Tobia Scarpa were its first interpreters, designing a series of wooden furniture items through the use of rare, ancient production processes typical of cabinet and lute making. The result was extremely striking in its sculptural effect, as epitomised by the Africa chair (Artona collection) and the New Harmony collection.

After a first important collaboration with Afra and Tobia Scarpa, in 1993 Maxalto heralded a new era with Antonio Citterio as its sole designer, introduced by the creation of his first collection in 1996. Antonio Citterio’s work centred initially on the early twentieth century style and subsequently drew inspiration from the French design of the interwar period, always finding new and effective ways of interpreting contemporary aesthetic trends.

For Antonio Citterio, Maxalto became a production workshop in which to research and manufacture a collection of “modern neo-classics”. Neo-classics because they are filtered, in terms of form and finishes, through the contemporary eyes of an Italian architect, and modern because they are designed to provide comfortable solutions for the home intended as a homogeneous, coherent environment in which furniture and objects interact fluidly. Similar yet very different, the furniture in the Maxalto collection customises the home, its rooms becoming an expression of an entirely personal and unique lifestyle. The brand’s products have never been tied to the latest fads and fashions, offering instead a wealth of variations of comfort, of conviviality, and of the home as a private, domestic environment with a social dimension.

In 2021 the Maxalto collection opens with a re-elaborated style, recreated in its colour tones, dimensions, materials and models. What is proposed is a warm environment, with a lighter touch in terms of aesthetics; a coherent update, totally faithful to Antonio Citterio’s initial Déco ideal. The new colour schemes, i.e. the light tones of untreated wenge and oak, the bronze and chrome metal finishes, the burnished aluminium of certain structures, the warm nuances of leathers and fabrics and the textiles in the collection, inspired by the 1920s and the work of Jean-Michel Frank, define a sophisticated, luminous ambiance.

A precise re-elaboration of all models and their many variations lies behind this collection. Indeed, Antonio Citterio has integrally redesigned the existing tipologies, rethinking the structures, proportions, details, functionality and use of the furniture and its components. 

The entire collection creates the idea of rational luxury, animated by the search for a candid, non-aggressive aesthetic for furniture and objects, not a mere change to the structure, colours, materials, but creating a sense of balance in every single piece and in the whole collection. Tables, chairs, armchairs, sofas, beds, storage units are certainly functional objects, but together they create living spaces, “rooms” of an ideal home as envisioned by a designer and a company, neither of which have ever forgotten their roots. The ability of a long tradition of craftsmen, the intelligence to understand the evolution in living styles and what will endure and what must necessarily change, the capacity to constantly regenerate, form part of the DNA of this collection.

MOGG was born from the desire of its founder, the architect Nicola Galbiati.

With a long experience in the world of furniture and design, the architect starts from where he had stopped. Art director but also skilled in framing it into a pragmatic view of business, always with the commitment and thin transverse pleasure to look forward. Curious by nature, he is fascinated from the understanding and the ahead of the times. The research is the true engine of its work, then the skill and knowledge in the field complete its expertise.

MOGG srl is a new furniture company, which opens its doors at the Salone del Mobile in Milan 2012.

MObili (furniture) OGGetti (objects)

Graphic cuts opposed to curved lines, warm materials combined with those cold, dynamism and versatility characterize the production.

Objects soloists, families of complements, intense shades and soft shapes, all elements of strong character who know how to make their mark, with a marked propensity to become iconic, with a strong connotation of the details that make them distinctive.

Slogan, democratic design, stylish looks but open to all. Materials and finishes lift the shot. A minimalist design, but not too much, basic and without frills. The naturalness is the hallmark of Mogg when everything is studied in detail.

Today Mogg is distributed all around the world by the support of 25 agents.

MOGG has a soul and a well-defined identity, fresh, curious who wants surprise you and herself, looking for people that with their visions ( crazy and dreamers), with their enthusiasm, their work and their perceptions to love the new and modern concept of living.

On the other hand, if we are not surprised, everything falls into already seen, and into the already done and in the routine of the commercial proposals of which the world of furniture is saturated; however in all that we try to avoid, if we want to build and propose a design collection that leaves a mark, leaving the herd, the already seen.

MOGG is synonymous with pieces, accessories and objects with a well recognizable, clean and re-cordabile design, which combine aesthetic emotion and functionality, in order to characterize with strong note but not too much spaces, and projects, both modern that bourgeois or even more classic. The products of this collection range over from the small padded pouf to the small metal tables, from wooden containers to the piece in solid wood, highlighting a common denominator of a very modernity thanks to the ability to take ideas, demands and tastes of a different customers with a marked sensibility to irony and research.

The result is a product that can satisfy the tastes, needs and budgets, where the exclusivity is not its cost but in its originality, and aware of a purchase of a unique product. Unique not only because is produced by limited edition but because is different from any other product already on the market.

A new story never begins from zero - its roots always stretch far back and it starts to take shape even before the story looks like a story. This story.

It all begins with an intuition of Rolando Ciatti. As a curious and attentive observer of a world that is changing so fast around him, he understands that a place in the house must be found for that strange, new object – the television - which was about to shake the Italians habit.

That’s how Ciatti was founded, in Borgo San Frediano, in Florence Oltrarno, as the first company in Italy to produce TV benches.

Thanks to her innovative vision, Flavia Ciatti together with Gianni Pareschi, her precious Art Director, presents Ciatti a Tavola at the Milan Furniture Fair. This collection confidently brought concepts and materials into homes - steel above all - that up until then were used exclusively for public and industrial spaces.

Free-standing kitchen units, which could be combined and allocated according to the use and furnishings accessories that blend functionality and extreme practicality.

When strict form meets the most unconventional experimentation in design: the Ciatti family meets Bruno Rainaldi. Together they found CCR design, a new company focused on the development of home objects and accessories.

Under the art direction of Mr Rainaldi, important names in Italian design start creating storage objects, chairs, mirrors, all characterized by a strong and bold personality. In 2004, Original Ptolomeo, the free-standing bookshelf by Bruno Rainaldi, wins the Compasso d’Oro award. Basic but revolutionary, new and with a great impact, as sudden as an intuition; Ptolomeo soon becomes the company’s best-selling item and an icon of contemporary design.

We started from a thread: the one used for the rugs, the first products introduced on the market branded Paola Lenti. We started as passionate artisans, paying a scrupulous attention to the quality of materials: always looking for a point of contact, a special harmony between colours, signs and shapes.

It was 1994. We were small but we were dreaming big. Year after year, we have experimented on yarns and fabrics; this led to the first outdoor collections that have made us known in Italy and in the world.

The outdoors has strengthened our brand identity. We have discovered our talent for colour: it has become our trademark.

We started new collaborations with selected artisans to preserve the unmistakable sign of craftwork and, at the same time, intensified experimentation and research in partnership with scientific institutes, universities and other companies.

Tradition, innovation. Today we can count on cutting-edge technical yarns and at the same time recover “ancient” fibers such as flax and hemp, enhancing cultures from other parts of the world and cultivation methods that risk disappearing.

Since inception, the respect for the planet is among our priorities. We produce sustainable furniture because durable and recyclable, using process with low environmental impact.

We were small, but we have grown. Today Paola Lenti is an industrial reality made up of multiple professionals – tailors, upholsterers, weavers, architects and engineers – and consolidated collaborations with local workers, thus enhancing an all-Italian production chain.

To the outdoor collections, those for interiors have been added, transforming the house Paola Lenti in a complete domestic universe. Carpets, sofas, armchairs and chaise longue can be combined with tables, bookcases, movable backdrops and many other furnishing accessories; materials such as wood, ceramics, glass and metals, which dialogue through colors and finishes, have been introduced next to the exclusive yarns and fabrics, creating this way harmonious and comprehensive environments.

Renzo Frau founded Poltrona Frau in Turin in 1912. In the 30’s it was already a status symbol.

From 1926 it was appointed supplier of the Italian Royal Family, the Savoia dynasty. From then on, it will furnish all the most important houses, grand hotels, the interiors for Expo Turin 1928, and the lavish transatlantic Rex, pride of the Italian Navy.

In 1962, after the acquisition by the Nazareno Gabrielli group, the company moved to Tolentino

in the Marche region, an area in central Italy with a very strong vocation for leather manufacturing.

Under the lead of President Franco Moschini the company cooperates with the most famous Italian

and international architects and designers, creating new successful products, which will join their classic and historical collections.

1984 sets the beginning of two new divisions: Interiors in Motion and Contract.

In 2004, Poltrona Frau is acquired by Charme Investments, which englobes in its brand other historical and prestigious companies like Cappellini, and in 2005 also Cassina. This is the founding year of Poltrona Frau Group, a new point of reference in the luxury furniture industry.

In 2014, the American group Haworth is the new majority shareholder of Poltrona Frau Group, widening their undisputed leadership on a worldwide basis.

Everything's born from the love of wood. The solid wood, worked with the craftsmanship of those who know how to turn a log into a piece of artwork. Porada has its origin in this passion. It was established in 1968 by Luigi Allievi with the aim of expanding the production of chairs, started in 1948.

Porada

Porro was founded in Brianza, the traditional birthplace of Italian quality furniture. In the heart of this area, in the small town of Montesolaro of Carimate, the brothers Giulio and Stefano Porro, established in 1925 their first workshop dedicated to the production of old-style pieces of furniture produced for the newborn Milanese bourgeoisie. 

The transition to second generation of Porro family, with the cousins Carlo, Arturo and Silvio, marked the turn to Modern style in the 50's, also thanks to the long and successful collaboration with the architect Giulio Moscatelli, who in 1955 designed the new workshop next to the family house.In the 60's the transformation in a real industry needed a new productive pole, opened in 1968. 

Since its very beginning with some of the main Italian designers, such as Bruno Munari, who in 1966 was entrusted with the design of the corporate logo. From him came the idea of transforming to two Os of the name Porro into two screws seen from above, thus including in the symbol of a woodworking company its most representative working tool. 

Since the mid eighties, when the third generation joined the company, the cousins Lorenzo, Fabio, Giovanni e Danilo Porro, design has become the driving force: the partnership with Piero Lissoni, art director since 1989, started right in that period. During the years, he has designed some of the company’s flagship products such as the table Ferro (1994), which is still a bestseller, a sculptural item that perfectly embodies the clean design of the brand. 

The attendance to the Furniture Exhibition of Cologne, the cooperation with the German designers Wolfgang Tolk and Werner Aisslinger and the entrance in the German market, are the first steps of a coherent project of internationalization, which strengthens in the 90's, with the creation of an international network of sale agents and the participation to exhibitions on the 5 continents. 

Among the targets of the new millennium, the enlargement of the manufacturing pole in 2000 with the building of a new warehouse of 14 thousand square meters and the opening in 2004 of the first mono-brand shop in via Durini 15, Milan. 

The subsequent cooperation with external designers, among whom Christophe Pillet, Jean Marie Massaud, Front, Alessandro Mendini, Soda Designers, GamFratesi, further enhanced Porro catalogue: an all-round offer characterized by many designs, different sensitivities but with a consistent image and the ability to meet the most demanding requirements together.

Punt Mobles was founded in 1980 bythe Valencian designerVicent Martínez together with designer Lola Castelló. “The first stage of Punt Mobles was pure passion for design, it was a vital project and somehow somewhat thoughtless. This first stage must be placed in a historical context. Young designers, who become entrepreneurs, without ceasing to be designers, in a Valencian society, where design was neither understood nor valued, except by a sensitive minority”.

Punt grew until it reached its peak, where the company was very solvent and had a very high brand recognition. In 1997, Punt was awarded the National Design Award. The company was boomingat that time. “At this stage it has grown and has repositioned itself in the international design imaginary, placing itself in the high-end design segment, remaining anchored in the philosophy of good design and contemporary craftsmanship. Their values are transmitted in everything they do”, says Vicent, weaving, from different angles, design and company project, in a vital and exciting way.

Punt is currently a boutique company, where you can find different types of products, although storage is par excellence the best-selling part but you can also find all kinds of products with a strong differentiating value. In short, "a product of high quality, which is treated in an artistic way", argues José Manuel. And he continues: “with our expertise, know-how and the artisan workmanship, we generate, together with design, sculptural pieces.That is why we speak of Art in Design, of treating design as if it were a sculpture, thinking in the details, in the combination of materials and in generating products where artisan workmanship and know-how experience is always reflected in each piece ”.

Santa & Cole is a small, independent and global editor of design products, with its roots in Belloch (Barcelona, Spain). We have been editing since 1985, when the company was first founded. By editing we mean preparing a work for the public domain, we mean adapting an item for everyone’s use. What a book editor does with stories, we do with objects.

More than eighty creators have contributed to a rich catalogue of furniture and lighting products originating in very different contexts, by renowned designers such as Antoni Arola, Miguel Milá, André Ricard and llmari Tapiovaara.

Acute and attentive to quality and detail, Santa & Cole outsources all of its industrial production to an extensive network of suppliers, mainly in Spain, but also in other countries such as Japan, where the washi paper for our Tekiò lamp is made.

Our mission is to build, safeguard and disseminate knowledge through design objects. Objects whose quality is recognisable at the touch of a hand, and that enrich people’s lives, whether at home or in shared environments. Our philosophy is more modern than futurist and we are more intrigued by silence than by stridency.

Our focus is not the present market, but the future one; not Barcelona, but the world; not fashion, but history.

Santa & Cole was founded by Nina Masó, Javier Nieto Santa and Gabriel Ordeig Cole in 1985, during a decade of upheaval in Spain when anything seemed possible in the wake of the dictatorship.

The early days, creating exceptional lamps for some of Barcelona’s most famous bars, soon led to commissions to light the homes of regular patrons of some of those venues. At a time when halogen lamps (cool to the touch, with a bluish light) were all the rage, Santa & Cole advocated the use of natural materials like wood, stitched cardboard or ribbons. In some cases, existing designs were revisited, and in others, new ones, such as the Básica lamp, were developed. We shifted the mood from technical and cold to human and warm.

In the 1990s, in the joyful aftermath of the Barcelona Olympics, some of the larger lamps, modular lamps, were born, such as the Estadio or the Moaré, responding to the need to illuminate public places.

Since LED lighting stormed onto the scene at the dawn of the 21st century, we have continued our quest for light that enhances the beauty of objects, shadows and people. Examples of this are the Cirio and Tekiò series. We remain committed to creating ambiences and moods, night and day, that serve to improve habitability at home or elsewhere.
