Are there any Italian brands that stand out to you ?
Authenticity is the signature of Italian designers and makers which makes it very hard to choose a select few for this list . Ceccotti Collezioni captures a unique perspective with their hand-crafted designs in American walnut , curves that
are seemingly impossible come to life . Wood is a material they can work unlike anyone else . De Castelli is also very special , fourth-generation metal workers nestled in a scenic town outside of Venice - welding , oxidising , hand-brushing burnished pieces of luxury into being . I love the Celato chest of drawers for its balance of playfulness and sophistication : panels of oxidised brass clad the cleverly concealed storage . Molteni & C would be another - they are part of the fabric of Italian design having started production in the 30s . Today they blend the past with the future , recreating the designs of legends like Gio Ponti whilst innovating new designs with today ’ s design talents like Patricia Urquiola .
