The company was founded in 1991 by the two partners, Antonio Menniti and Luigi Mercuri, who shared a passion for wooden furniture and interior design. Their goal was to conceive, design, and create custom-made furnishings. The distinctive features of their products were to be originality, high quality, and above all, the 'artisanal' label. Thanks to their constant dedication and deep passion for furniture, which has always been their driving force, the company has gained extensive experience in the industry over the years, earning multiple awards and recognitions.
Years of continuous change, the first achievements, and the initial artisanal processes of wood enhancement.
A historic moment for the company: by participating in the well-known skills competition on the famous television show 'Numero Uno,' hosted by Pippo Baudo, Antonio Menniti won in his category, establishing himself as the top carpenter in Italy.
Thanks to numerous television appearances, such as in the documentary 'Geo & Geo,' we had the opportunity to showcase our professionalism, built on tradition, craftsmanship, and passion, to the entire Italian audience.
Enthusiasm grew over the years, and in 2004, we inaugurated our new factory, which not only houses the production department but also an exhibition area and our 'Research and Development' team.
It's a turning point year; the company acquires its first computer numerical control (CNC) machine, followed by a significant investment in CAD/CAM technology.
After years of consolidation during which we honed our skills, it's time to step onto new stages.
Great collaborations: in 2018, the doors of our factory opened to the Compasso d'Oro award winners "Setsu & Shinobu Ito," with whom we developed the "IONIKI" collection, paying tribute to our deep Mediterranean roots.
We aspire to create innovative and eco-sustainable solutions, inspired by our passion and values. Every project is a forge of ideas where design and functionality harmoniously blend, giving life to unique and inspiring environments. All of this takes shape through the fusion of our rich artisanal tradition and extraordinary Italian ingenuity. With determination, we are poised to bring this timeless dream to fruition because we believe in the power of creativity and the importance of leaving a positive mark on the world.
We aim to pass on the craft of the cabinetmaker and woodworking to future generations. For us, the 'Artisan 4.0' is the figure that combines tradition and craftsmanship with digital techniques while maintaining a special relationship with the customer. This privileged bond allows us to offer a personalized experience by listening to and involving the customer in every phase of the production process. Our attention to detail extends to customer satisfaction because we believe that only through an authentic relationship can we provide a quality product.
The key that has allowed the company to grow over the years is undoubtedly the great ability to find the right balance between form and function in every creation, coupled with a refined and modern yet sober and essential taste for pieces intended to stand the test of time.
L’avvento della seconda generazione ha dato un’ulteriore scossa per la crescita, in termini di qualità e professionalità. L’eccellenza qualitativa e l’esperienza nella lavorazione del legno le conferiscono in breve un’identità solida e ben definita.
Our creations are broad and diverse, consisting of numerous environments and furnishings developed in collaboration with designers and industry professionals, such as the collection of unique pieces 'IONIKI' developed by the Compasso d'Oro winners 'Setsu & Shinobu Ito'.
The strength of our company doesn't solely lie in the quality of materials used or the highly technological production processes, our strength is the team of individuals who daily put care and passion into their work.
