The arrival of Walter Colico marked another step in the evolution of the company. With their roots in the tradition of handmade Italian artisan craftsmanship, the company began integrating their search for new forms and lines for furniture with high design geared towards an international clientele. Chairs, tables, stools, sofas and accessories with a strong stylistic imprint that stand out on the market for their quality, comfort, style, and exuberance.”
