“The house is the icon of loved belongings, it is a world where everybody wants to be close to comfortable elements." – says Mr. Giorgio Cattelan

We have added a wide variety of Cattelan items to our already vast showroom display. Take my word, you will not be disappointed with the quality, style, and plethora of CUSTOM options!  We just returned from our bi-annual trade show where we hand picked and curated a fabulous selection of merchandise to bring directly to you, our clients.  Out of all the Italian companies out there making custom furniture, Cattelan is always on top in my eyes. In that, they consistently stay ahead of the game as far introducing new and unique materials, designs, and styles in their collection.

We also had the honor and pleasure of meeting Mr. Giorgio Cattelan himself, along with his son Paolo Cattelan who make all the beautiful magic of Cattelan Italia happen.
