The history of Cattelan Italia is a journey into the world of furniture, a story of passion, creativity, and entrepreneurship rooted in a family of manufacturers. Giorgio Cattelan, the youngest of seven siblings, grew up surrounded by the scent of wood, inheriting from his father the love for materials and the passion for furniture craftsmanship.
Cattelan Italia, the Company and its History
In 1979, Giorgio and Silvia gave life to the brand Cattelan Italia, sharing their passion for art and design. Giorgio, with his creative and entrepreneurial spirit, and Silvia, refined and cultured, embarked on a human and professional adventure that would shape the destiny of the brand. With the intuition of creating tables in marble and glass, Cattelan Italia began forging its own identity and distinctive style. The rapid international growth led them to build the first factory in Carré (VI) in 1982, expanding their offerings and bringing Italian design to the world.
Cattelan Italia, Collections and Design
International expansion is the goal of Cattelan Italia, presenting itself with style in the best global showrooms, participating in prestigious fairs, and appearing in renowned industry magazines. The Cattelan family, committed to continuity, saw their sons Paolo and Lorenzo join the company, guided by the same passion for furnishing and entrepreneurship. The Cattelan Italia collection includes tables, chairs, consoles, sideboards, desks, bookcases, TV stands, and more, all characterized by a distinctive style and unique design.
The era of globalization rewards the work of a team focused on research, quality, diversification, and comfort. Cattelan Italia's collections speak the universal language of functional yet daring design, completing spaces for a sophisticated international audience. The most iconic products, such as the Nasdaq desk, are renowned for their exclusive design and look. A masterpiece of elegance and design, perfect for enhancing the office area. Similarly, the Nahun suspension lamp is capable of individual furnishing, further enhancing the contrasts between the horizontal surfaces of tables, coffee tables, and sideboards, and the vertical lines of this modern lamp. Comprising a series of intersecting arches in mid-air, it creates reassuring geometric sections with mathematical precision, defining a minimalist and refined appearance. With the Keramik collection, Cattelan Italia marks a stylistic turning point, daring with increasingly extravagant shapes and experimenting with innovative techniques, resulting in a unique and recognizable design.
Cattelan Italia, Materials and Finishes
With a continued focus on functionality and comfort, Cattelan Italia offers a wide range of materials and finishes, from transparent or decorated crystals to finely shaped woods, from fascinating ceramics to hand-painted lacquered finishes. Proudly Made in Italy, Cattelan Italia carries on the family's passion in every detail of its products, offering a unique experience of Italian design worldwide.
The Showroom: Embodying the Brand's Values and Passion for Furniture
The Cattelan Italia showroom at the Carrè (VI) headquarters, is a scenic space of approximately 3,000 square meters, with 7-meter-high windows that allow dialogue with the surrounding natural landscape. The Prealps of the Asiago plateau blend with the interior settings, furnished with the latest proposals and iconic designs, constantly updated with the most current finishes.
Just like the products, the showroom is regularly updated, recently undergoing significant restyling of spaces, arrangement of furnishings, and decorative elements, ready to welcome visitors and provide a unique design experience. Our collection is born out of specific needs and contexts but possesses the characteristics to endure a lifetime and adapt effortlessly. With a focus on research and development, we work tirelessly with designers and artisans to anticipate new trends, needs, and manufacturing techniques.
