The makers behind the pieces
We work with a small circle of European design houses, chosen as much for how they make things as for what they make. Family workshops, master craftspeople and fearless designers, each with a story worth bringing home.
Sancal
In the 1970s, a 20-year-old Santiago Castaño-Carpena started making classic chairs in Yecla, the heart of Spain's furniture country. Today his family still runs Sancal from its own factories there, partly powered by the sun.
Their conviction hasn't changed: furniture should last, not be thrown away. Their language is color. Playful sofas, sculptural seats and tables that set the mood of a room.
Acerbis
In 1870, Benvenuto Acerbis opened a carpentry workshop in Albino, near Bergamo. In 1963 Lodovico Acerbis took over and turned the family business into one of the names that shaped Italian design, working with Giotto Stoppino, Lella and Massimo Vignelli, and Nanda Vigo.
Its signature is where craft meets technology: deep, glossy lacquers, marble and cast glass, and a Compasso d'Oro for the Sheraton sideboard in 1979. Today Francesco Meda and David Lopez Quincoces lead its new designs, alongside careful reissues of archive classics.
Mogg
Architect Nicola Galbiati founded Mogg in Giussano, in the Brianza furniture district north of Milan. The studio works from a converted Lombard farmhouse, blending handmade tradition with industrial know-how.
Graphic cuts meet soft curves, warm materials meet cool finishes. Minimal but never austere, every Mogg piece has a detail you remember.
Miniforms
Luigi Bardini was just 18 when he opened his workshop north of Venice in 1962. His three sons now lead Miniforms, and they've kept his belief that design is a form of art that should reflect personality.
Expect elegant, unexpected shapes in wood, metal and glass, with color used with real wit.
Nani Marquina
Designer Nani Marquina founded her company in Barcelona in 1987 with one idea: that a handmade rug could be completely contemporary.
Every piece is still made by hand, knotted, loomed or tufted by artisans in India and Pakistan using wool, jute and other natural fibers. A single design can take a year or two to perfect, because a rug is what makes a room feel like home.
Catellani & Smith
Enzo Catellani describes his work as halfway between craftsmanship and art. Since 1989, his workshop near Bergamo has shaped light by hand in brass, aluminum and wax-finished iron, so no two lamps are ever quite the same.
The light itself is soft and never blinding. It's meant to be lived with, not simply switched on.
Aromas del Campo
Aromas del Campo began in Valencia in 1986 making potpourri, which explains the name. Its glass lamps filled with dried flowers led it into lighting, and it never looked back.
Today it designs graceful lights in glass, metal, marble and stoneware: simple geometry, soft rounded forms, and a belief that good design should be within reach.
