Giorgio Cattelan is the youngest of seven brothers and carries in his heart the scent of wood, which he breathed as a child in his father's workshop, which has been able to pass on to five children a love for materials and a passion for the art of furniture manufacturing.
Cattelan Italia was founded in 1979 by Giorgio and Silvia who share a passion for art and design. He is creative and entrepreneurial, while she, cultured and refined, organises ideas.It is the beginning of a great adventure, both human and professional.
Marble and crystal tables are produced with avant-garde techniques and a clear personal stylistic imprint. Rapid growth abroad led to the construction of the first plant in Carré (VI) in 1982 and the expansion of the product range.
The aim is to increase exports to the main global markets and grow while maintaining Made in Italy quality. The brand is present in the world's best showrooms, participates in the most prestigious trade fairs and appears in the best-known trade magazines.
Meanwhile, within the company, the family aspires to give continuity to its efforts. His sons Paolo and Lorenzo joined the company, guided by the same passion for furniture and entrepreneurial vein as their parents.
The era of globalisation rewards the work of a team capable of investing in research, quality, diversification and comfort. The collection expands by completing environments that speak the universal language of functional yet bold design.
"The home is the symbol of cherished things, it must be welcoming, in form and substance. Beauty, for me, is above all function."
Giorgio Cattelan
2011 saw the acquisition of Arketipo, a company located in Florence and specialised in the high-end upholstered furniture sector, now led by Lorenzo Cattelan.
In 2012, the complete renovation of the company showroom in Carré took place. A scenographic space of about 3,000 square metres, with rough concrete walls and 7-metre-high windows that allow a dialogue with the surrounding natural landscape.
Paolo has been at the helm of the company since 2014. Since then, he has been guiding the Brand to the top of the contemporary design world market, as a leader in the production and distribution of furniture for the living segment, 100% Made in Italy.
The search for a functional and scenic material, aimed at an increasingly demanding public, led to the creation of the Keramik collection. The first model, the Skorpio Keramik table, became a stylistic icon symbol of the Brand.
For Cattelan Italia, maturity has arrived and with it the freedom to dare to create ever more imaginative shapes and experiment with processes that make it possible to be recognisable, as well as to create trends. Always keeping the focus on functionality and comfort.
The Italian design capital, Milan has been chosen as the location for the company's first flagship store. The building at Via Larga, 23 welcomes design lovers from all over the world.
