Materials

Each piece we create is a work of art, the result of a combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern technology. One of the hallmarks of our sofas is the attention to the materials used, which are carefully selected to ensure comfort, durability and timeless beauty.
At the heart of each of our sofas is a solid, durable frame made from fir, poplar and plywood. These woods, carefully chosen by the most experienced craftsmen, ensure a stable and durable base on which to build the comfort and elegance of our sofas.
To ensure unbeatable comfort, we use only high-quality foam rubber for padding. This material ensures optimal support for the body and a soft feel that invites complete relaxation.
But we don’t stop there: to upholster our sofas, we offer an exclusive selection of fine materials. Natural leather, soft and luxurious to the touch, lends a timeless elegance to our sofas. For those who prefer high-quality fabrics, we offer a wide range of options, from silk to velvet, all selected for their durability and beauty.
