Our 130-year history
“We started in 1892 as carpenters. Today as in the past, we are guided by our principles and values: quality, design and competency. We explore and identify for you the main trends of international design, to offer you a selection of objects which make unique your interiors…. and often we bill them with our hands and our passion.”
Designer Andrea Grattoni
The story
Everything began, at the end of ‘800, in a house lined at the edge of a gravel road with a a two-leaf door, where three brothers started up a rudimental company, but full of enthusiasm: there were the artist, the craftsman and the accountant… all this between planers, hacksaws, clamps, saws, pots of fish glue and the pencil behind the ear, a red and flat lapis with a large mine tempered with a knife. In the following years Giovanni Battista Grattoni, called Titta, was able to passing down all his enthusiasm and passion to his son Andrea who, even if he was still a child, followed his father, with curiosity, in fairs and factories. Andrea has inherited the passion and openness, he has treasured the past to grow, to get emotional and give emotions through a material that gave, gives and will always give warmth. Great vitality of ideas, of research, of creation, of growth and a lot of passion.
