Production

 In order to reproduce Bauhaus and Modern Classics Furniture in accordance to the original designs, one needs to have years of experience to do so. The right tools and a perfect manufacturing process are necessary in order to bend tubes or to make upholstery that keep its shape for decades. Despite of the designers' intention to create furniture which can easily be produced mechanically, the making of most modern classics still requires much skilled hand labour and various different production steps. In our factories - South of Florence, Italy - we work with the aim to reproduce these beautiful Bauhaus and Modern Classics Furniture in a way so you can enjoy them year after year.

Chrome & Leather We use only high gauge stainless steel. It is pre-stressed and pre-buffed in order to achieve the original look. Then the steel finally gets its immaculate look by applying a 35 micron chrome plating including silicone coatings for rust protection. All chrome parts are polished to a perfect finish.
Leather Natural leather has a unique appearance. Because every animal is different, each hide has its individual look. We use only full-grain aniline Italian leather. Some manufacturers will use inferior leathers that need to be sanded and textured in order to hide scars or marks. But with time this top grain leather will crack and show their original marks. In order to enrich the quality of our bend leather, we use a tanning process that not only preserves the beauty but also ensures the durability. An important factor is also the coloring of the leather. Our leather is drum-dyed in order to ensure complete color penetration. Other manufacturers use a simple vat-dying, that colors the material in an uneven manner. The pieces for our leather coverings are all handcut from selectes hides. For example, to make a Le Corbusier armchair as many as 14 differently sized parts are required.  |
