MAXALTO

When industry collides with artisanal excellence, success is achieved. 
Maxalto's story began in 1975, a story intimately linked to architects Afra and To ...bia Scarpa, who not only designed all collections up to 1992, but also the current factory. Home furnishings designed by Afra and Tobia Scarpa were rapidly recognised as a benchmark in Italian design. A collection of prestigious wooden furniture 100% "Made in Italy". The choice to use wood was counter-current and very bold during the "age of plastic", in which tastes were moving towards new experimentation. Tobia Scarpa left his mark on the entire collection: objects made of prestigious materials such as wood, handled "one-by-one" and with finishes that benefited from unique manual know-how. Read more

The search for iconic objects was combined with the desire to create a modern atmosphere. A style that combined the geometric simplification of shapes with extremely refined, almost invisible, production.
All while returning to - or inventing - artisanal production techniques. 
Pieces such as the Africa wooden chairs - Artona collection and the New Harmony collection emerged from this process. Maxalto aims for design excellence by using the highest quality materials and craftsmanship. It's even in its name. In Venetian dialect, "massa alto" means "the highest".
