1 A New Direction Pallucco changes direction.Pallucco reconfirms the original power of its brand name, driven by design, research and communication. Our aim is to boost our image as a Design Company more than ever.Acquired in 1990 by Mino Bellato, Palluccos turnover has increased greatly over the past few years: the bookcase designed by Wettstein, the great Fortuny lamp and the Papiro lamps by Calatroni have been the leading products.In the winter of 2006 Pallucco separated amicably from the Bellato brand name (the historical family business) with which it had coexisted for 15 years, and now the two companies are forging their way ahead independently.Pallucco is perhaps the only Design Company operating in the Furniture and Lighting sectors. Pallucco stakes its all on creativity, materials and processes so as offer its clients a home that is unique and instantly recognizable not lacklustre and indistinguishable from a thousand others.
2 New EnergyPallucco has put the art direction for the current season in the capable hands of the brilliant Dutch designer, Jurgen Beij.Jurgen Beij (1965) is not designing at the moment; he is seeking and coordinating new designers and is responsible for prototypes, communications and exhibitions.Jurgen Beij. says:In Pallucco the air is charged with the desire for change. There are new products and there will be more to come because there is a gradual aspiration to grow In these circumstances I enjoy working with other designers and don't feel an urgent need to create products of my own. Standing behind the scenes, its easier for me to understand and offer support to the work of other designers. On the stand for the 2006 Furniture Exhibition I take up, once more, the scenographic concept of hiding/connecting objects and showing space, because context is perceived from a form, not from a detail.
ARTELANO is a French editor of high-end contemporary furniture since 1972. Keeping analyzing the market, anticipating the changing trends throughout the times, are the goals of the company Directors: Annick and Samuel Coriat. They established the strong image of their company, based upon their quest of purity as well as of functionality.
ARTELANO collections include tables, chairs, sofas and pieces of furniture produced in various types of materials and always according to high standards of quality. The fine selection of materials and the demanding quality control process are part of an unconditional policy. The collaboration with internationally appraised designers such as Patricia Urquiola, Piero Lissoni, Christophe Pillet, Olivier Gagnère, Austrian studio Eoos, Marco Zanuso Jr., Eric Gizard, bring a creative mix of flairs to the collections.
According to the French national survey institution Ipsos, ARTELANO is the 5th best known contemporary collection in its domestic market, out of all international furniture companies.
This notoriety comes as the result of an ongoing partnership with the best distributors in the contemporary furniture market, in particular with the Parisian department stores, as well as of the success of the ARTELANO Paris showroom and of the strong interest of the press in this innovating brand.
According to Chantal Hamaide, editor in chief of INTRAMUROS magazine, "Samuel Coriat is the most Italian of all French editors", as well as "the one thanks to whom French designers are a reference"; in ELLE DECORATION, Laure Verchère wrote "ARTELANO is one of the most creative editors of contemporary furniture in the world"; for Guy Claude Agboton in IDEAT magazine "Artelano is the French exception".
ARTELANO has won a large number of awards.
ZEUS was founded in 1984 by a group of friends who enjoyed and wanted to share their experiences in the fields of DESIGN - FASHION - ART. Their aim was to merge and deliberately "contaminate" their ideas under the name of ZEUS, a rather "arrogant" brand name. This very instinctive initial idea gave rise to a boutique that designed and produced its own fabrics and fashion collections, an art gallery presenting one-man shows by group members and avant-garde proposals from Italy and abroad, and a collection of design furniture.
Today, all that remains from this initial project are the ZEUS fashion boutique and the design collection, which is primarily designed by its Art Director Maurizio Peregalli. Industrial-type materials are used in ZEUS design collection.
For example, linoleum flooring is used to cover tables and consoles.
Pirelli "polka dot" rubber sheets normally used for car mats are applied to chair seats, and extruded rubber couplings are turned into armrests and backrests, and so on.
"These objects were designed for relaxing and thinking, not for showing off or astounding: they were designed to be used." Created for everyday use, they express a concept of "being" as well as elegant, understated style. The look is austere and technological, and the materials are functional, simple and economical. Everything satisfies the need for simple, clean lines. The rejection of formal and figurative excess in favor of rigor and severity is, in turn, a transformation of a precise youthful behavior and expression of a precise moral into an object. The ZEUS object is discreet, moral, and almost mystical. For years ZEUS has been an important point of reference for young designers worldwide. Theme exhibits are organized periodically that give young designers a chance to display their prototypes, to meet and to make themselves known to the general public during the fabulous ZEUS parties, which are held at the same time as the Milan Furniture Show and are irreplaceable and joyful moments of encounter.

Ein Platz für Design
Die italienische Firma Softline® All Kit produziert die Sitzschale ihres neuen Designerstuhls SLIM aus dem Kunststoff Luran® 368 R, ein Styrol-Acrylnitril-Copolymer (SAN) der BASF. SLIM ist der erste Stuhl von Softline All Kit aus Luran. Der thermoplastische Kunststoff zeichnet sich durch hohe Transparenz und Brillanz aus. Das Material ist daher für Designer geeignet, die optisch ansprechende Teile herstellen möchten.
Bei der Produktion von transparenten Möbeln kann der Werkstoff aufgrund seiner hohen Steifigkeit, geringen Dichte und leichten Verarbeitbarkeit andere transparente Materialien wie PMMA (Polymethylmethacrylat) oder PC (Polycarbonat) ersetzen. Gegenüber PC ist Luran kratzfester und spannungsrissbeständiger. Der Werkstoff lässt sich nicht nur leicht verarbeiten, sondern ist auch sehr chemikalienbeständig, sagt Manuela Marzona von Softline All Kit. Dadurch ist der Stuhl robust, formschön und bequem zugleich. SLIM war auf der Düsseldorfer Kunststoffmesse zu sehen und ist bei Softline erhältlich. Softline All Kit ist ein italienischer Hersteller von Möbeln und Accessoires aus der Nähe von Pavia di Udine

Made in Italy from high quality materials The Softline collection has a huge range of colour options, options for legs or a swivel pedestal, & as legs can be chosen in solid aluminium many of these designs work well outdoors too.

The strategies, goals and values that apply to the companys business are set out in its handbook Objectives and Values for the Ekornes Group. This is available as a separate document. Please refer to this document for details of the companys goals and overarching strategies.
Brands
Ekornes ASA is the largest furniture manufacturer in the Nordic region and owns such brand names as Ekornes®, Stressless® and Svane®. Stressless® is one of the worlds most famous furniture brands, while Ekornes® and Svane® are the best known brands in the Norwegian furniture market. While products are manufactured at seven factories in Norway, they are sold in large parts of the world through a network of wholly owned sales companies in selected markets.
Stressless - The Innovators of comfort
Stressless® was introduced in 1971, as the first recliner designed to meet your bodys need for movement and support when seated. No wonder Stressless® became known as the ultimate recliner. 35 years later, and with worldwide sales of over four million, Stressless® is still the ultimate recliner and the reason is simple; our key concern is constantly improving comfort. Whether its a new technical feature or a different way of applying ideas, youll find it on our range of recliners and reclining sofas, which take them to an even higher level of comfort. As The Innovators of Comfort , we have never compromised. And rest assured, we never will.
Ten years ago the Stressless® concept was widened with the introduction of Stressless® reclining sofas. Since then other manufacturers have tried to follow our lead and have introduced low-back sofas where seats can be adjusted individually.
However, Stressless® is still the original and best so whenever youre looking at reclining furniture, make sure it carries the Stressless® logo. Then you will know its an original from The Innovators of Comfort .
Ekornes Collection
Ekornes Collection is our collection of comfortable fixed-back sofas with a wide range of combination possibilities. Several Ekornes Collection sofas has similar design as our Stressless sofas and also some Stressless recliners, so you can arrange your room according to your needs and space without compromise.
Svane
Svane logo
Svane was the first trademark to be registered in the Norwegian furniture industry. There is a close connection between laying comfortably and getting enough sleep. Today this connection is widely documented through science, but when Jens E. Ekornes made the first Svane mattresses in 1937 he had come to the same conclusion through common sense. The Svane mattresses which combined mattress springs and breathing capabilities, soon became a success. There is a long way from 1937 and up until today, but peoples trust in the Svane brand is as strong today as back then. This is a trust we have to earn every night.
Di Liddo & Perego started its activity in the sixties and immediately established itself as an important reality in the field of furniture thanks to its productive and entrepreneurial skills.
Now its seat in Meda, near Milan, has reached considerable dimensions, with a built area of about 14.000 square metres.
Di Liddo & Perego is the result of precise strategic choices that have made up the company philosophy during many years. The use of high-quality materials, the good value for money, the co-operation with various designers, the attention to modern needs for design and functionality, the reliability of its services: these have always been the company's main characteristics.
For these reasons Di Liddo & Perego is nowadays a reference point in the field of furniture, and not only in Italy, because during the last years Di Liddo & Perego has approached the European markets as well.
The company has recently found many new collaborators. The foundation members are now collaborating with the new generation: Andrea Di Liddo is responsible for commercial service, Roberto Perego for productivity, the architect Matteo Perego for communication activities and commercial direction.
An ever new research of quality, an accurate study of contemporary design, a continuous attention paid to every-day way of living and to the market trends as well: Di Liddo & Perego partners believe that the way they went many years ago is still the right one to go today. In order to reach ever new and ambitious objectives.
Established in 1954, Zanotta is one of the recognized leaders in Italian industrial design.
Guided by the insight and wonderful entrepreneurship abilities of the founder, Aureilio Zanotta, beginning in the 1960s it won and has held the international spotlight. This was thanks to its products: emblematic for both their formal and technological innovations.
In the late 1980s Aurelio Zanotta gave the following explanation of his success. "During the 1950s and 1960s the furniture and furnishing accessories industry was bubbling over with creativity. Some firms which currently are leaders in the industrial design field and have gained international stature were sharp enough then to grasp the crux of the design and manufacturing problem. It was possible to produce both profits and culture, at the same time."
Internationally famed architects and designers have always been called in to create the products. Some of them are: Achille Castiglioni, Gae Aulenti, Marco Zanuso, Ettore Sottsass, Joe Colombo, Alessandro Mendini, Andrea Branzi, Giuseppe Terragni, Carlo Mollino, De Pas-D'Urbino-Lomazzi, Enzo Mari, Bruno Munari, Alfredo Haberli, Werner Asslinger and Ross Lovegrove.
Today's collection comprises these furniture types: armchairs, sofas, storage units, bookcases, chairs, tables, coffee-tables and furnishing accessories.
Diverse manufacturing technologies are employed. In harmony with the corporate philosophy aimed at R&D, they allow the advanced use of a host of materials, like metals (aluminum alloy, stainless steel, brass, bronze, etc.), plastics, glass, marble, granite, wood, fabrics and leather.
In 1989 the "Zanotta Edizioni" collection was added to our line; these furnishing objects are close to applied art. Freed from the constraints of mass-production, the collection's articles are handmade to a great extent. By harking back to the most significant facets of Italy's artistic craft tradition, they revive and rework disused techniques, like mosaic, inlay and painted decorations.
The pieces in the "Zanotta Edizioni" are supposed to be selected and loved, as one picks and loves paintings, sculptures, rugs and tapestries. They, too, are destined to expressively enhance the home. Lastly, this small-batch or numbered and limited edition will augment their value over time.
Many of our pieces' forms rise above the triteness of the threadbare expressions or represent creations that went against the tide. So many creations are mentioned in design history books and displayed at the world's major museums (New York's MOMA and Metropolitan Museum, the Paris Centre George Pompidou, the London Design Museum, Berlin's Arts and Crafts Museum, the Vitra Design Museum in Weil am Rhein, the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, etc.).
Zanotta has received legions of prizes for its achievements. They include three Compasso d'Oro Awards: in 1968 for the Guscio hut designed by Roberto Menghi; in 1979 for De Pas-D'Urbino-Lomazzi's clothes-stand; and for Enzo Mari's 1987 Tonietta chair.
Over time, our company has backed a multitude of experimental endeavors and cultural undertakings to promote the development and dissemination of concepts tied to the creation of household artifacts. Zanotta participates yearly in countless exhibitions and shows in the sector of industrial design, art, architecture and fashion. This intense cultural promotion of the collection boosts its manufacturing.
Currently, the firm's collections are distributed in over sixty nations.

FIAM Italia's history is as transparent as glass, its work features the principal properties of this material: purity and strength. To man, glass is an old friend. However, this feeling of friendship is still alive, and keeps renewing itself through time. FIAM shows this spirit every day through its creations, which are original and unpredictable, its technological innovations and its top position in design in Italy and abroad.
For FIAM Italia, design means having the courage and inquisitiveness to explore and propose different worlds and the ability to interpret different lifestyles which resist the power of time, space and passing styles. For FIAM Italia, design is a passion without temporal bonds - and so the company has invited designers who are first and foremost impassioned people open to the idea of putting technology at the service of their own creative genius. This union has given rise to timeless products which interpret needs, tastes and lifestyles of the past, present and future. For FIAM Italia, rationalism, minimalism, essentialism, bolidism, eclecticism, avant-gardism are not just a chronological succession of styles. Instead they represent a harmonious coexistence of trends that offer ideas for improving the quality of life and for interpreting the individual's need for well-being, everyday.
For many years now, the paths of FIAM Italia and the complex world of the arts have converged, creating an intimate and lasting partnership. Artists of extraordinary creativity and indisputable stature have realised their dreams and designs in response to the challenge offered by crystal glass; a challenge which our company has met by moulding the material into new and hitherto unknown expressive forms. In collaboration with these designers, FIAM Italia, which has always been closely attuned to the realms of art and culture, seeks out unexplored spaces and untapped realities which fuse the results of its research with their experimentation.
Glass - from the Germanic glazam - is a hard, translucent material which is usually transparent. Glass is without doubt one of the most fascinating, adaptable materials which man has ever created. We know for certain that it is one of the oldest man-made materials in existence. But this extraordinary substance is also shrouded in mystery: mystery over its origin and structure which presents surprises and puzzling variations, even for the experts. Glass was probably discovered by chance, as a poetic tale handed down by Pliny tells us. According to the poet, Phoenician sailors came across the material by accident when they discovered vitreous material amongst the cinders of the fires they had lit along the beaches. A compound of melt silica and lime (both found in sand), is created by the primeval elements: earth, fire and - agents which produce sand itself - air and water.
