Luxurious Italian armchair

The brand's history is similar to many other artisanal enterprises that emerged in Italy in the 1960s. Remo Niccolai and Gianfranco Giusti started with the production of stylish sofas and armchairs upholstered in both fabric and leather.

They soon became known for their professionalism and correct approach to business. One of the main factors in the brand's success was the perfect balance between the antique and the modern, tradition and innovation, by combining old upholstery techniques with today's research and design methods.

Particular attention is paid to the environment, the rights and duties of their employees, and the selection of raw materials; all components that ensure the product is fully Italian. Today, the company is run by the founders' children, who follow in their parents' footsteps. Construction techniques are evolving without forgetting traditions, making the produced sofas and armchairs as durable and comfortable as ever, while also meeting the latest trends and requirements.

Production cycle

All aspects of production are handled within the company, which guarantees not only precision and accuracy at every single stage but also overall control of the supply chain, raw materials, and assembly. The cycle is divided into stages, each carried out by specialised and highly skilled personnel in processes where expert craftsmanship is complemented by advanced industrial procedures; from carpentry and varnishing to the application of gold and silver leaf, padding, and upholstery. Special techniques, such as button fastening or the use of braids and trims, give each product a unique identity. Finally, each product is thoroughly inspected and only after successfully passing quality control can it be dispatched for shipping.

Italian design

There is one thing for which the whole world recognises Italy: a unique and unparalleled aesthetic sense, which in the furniture industry manifests itself in creations with original design and exceptional personality. Since its inception, Altavilla has always been a faithful interpreter of this type of project, demonstrating an original style, continuing the tradition, and following the ever-changing needs of international markets. The company invents, designs, and produces armchairs and sofas, remembering that they must always be comfortable and durable, as well as a symbol of true Made in Italy style.
