A beautiful, unique Italian sofa

The brand's history is similar to many other artisan companies that originated in Italy in the 1960s. Remo Niccolai and Gianfranco Giusti started by producing elegant upholstered sofas and armchairs, made from both fabric and leather.

Soon, they became known for their professionalism and proper approach to business. One of the main factors of the company's success was the perfect balance between antique and modern, tradition and innovation, achieved by combining traditional upholstery techniques with today's research and design methods.

Great attention is paid to the environment, the rights and responsibilities of employees, and the selection of raw materials; all components that ensure the product is fully Italian. Today, the company is run by the children of the founders, who follow in their parents' footsteps. Construction techniques continue to develop while respecting traditions, ensuring that the sofas and armchairs produced are as durable and comfortable as ever, while also meeting the latest trends and requirements.

Production cycle

All aspects of production are handled internally, guaranteeing not only precision and accuracy at each stage but also overall control of the supply chain, raw materials, and assembly. The cycle is divided into stages, each carried out by specialized and highly skilled personnel using processes where expert craftsmanship is complemented by advanced industrial procedures; from carpentry and lacquering to applying gold and silver leaf, padding, and upholstery. Special techniques, such as button tufting and the use of braids and piping, give each product a unique identity. Finally, every piece of furniture is thoroughly inspected, and only after passing quality control can it be shipped.

Italian design

There is one thing that the whole world recognizes Italy for: an exceptional and unique sense of aesthetics, which in the furniture industry manifests in creations with original design and distinctive personality. Since its inception, Altavilla has been a faithful interpreter of this style, demonstrating exceptional taste, continuing the tradition, and adapting to the ever-changing needs of international markets. The company designs, creates, and produces armchairs and sofas, always remembering that they must be comfortable, durable, and a symbol of true Made in Italy style.
