Elba Rectangular Bench by Massimo Castagna

Arkof was founded in the 1970s as a craft workshop, a vocation best expressed with “Leonardo's Machines,” scale models made and distributed worldwide. The company, availing itself of collaborators and partnerships that shared the project, has undertaken over time a process of modernization concerning research and innovation by devoting itself to the development of new technologies and applications to materials. In this phase of growth, while maintaining the size and flexibility typical of craftsmanship, it creates a network of external resources with which it balances and completes its offerings. The path is traced; it is on this consolidated basis that the first Arkof creations take shape in the purest creative sign, cooperating with designers with whom they share the philosophy. Through a distribution network that looks at the Italian market but especially turns its interest toward the foreign one, Arkof is establishing itself as a reality in the world of design. Arkof's path stems from the knowledge of thinking, designing and making cultivated during the long artisan experience and is expressed in the new, strong, passionate desire to translate creative ideas and intuitions into furnishing proposals with a distinctive character.With its collections Arkof offers elements that are the representation of its philosophy, pieces of furniture to be discovered and desire to show the fruit of a functional and characterizing vision of design.
