After more than 200 years, Annibale Colombo is a landmark in the outline of high cabinet-making and can boast inestimable know-how, which expresses itself in the unique ability to interpret and use materials and in the creation of furniture pieces with the fascination of the unique piece. During its history Annibale Colombo had always defended – and still defends – its tradition: the use of rich materials, very high-level inlay and carving techniques and antique and expert gestures through which precise joints, smoothing and polishing are obtained, results of an excellent handicraft savoir-faire.
One of the main points in the production philosophy of Annibale Colombo is the respect of the natural environment: wood comes only from reafforested areas; dyeings are natural ones, with aniline; polishing is done with shell-lack and bees-wax, which not only smells very good but has also an antiseptic action, protecting wood from dust and parasites.
Also, the capability of the company to propose custom-made solutions is another example of Annibale Colombo know-how. Through the years the company has realized a lot of projects both in Italy and all over the world: extremely diversified works, dictated by the needs of different people’s tastes and cultural environments, different also as regards to the various architectural typology, but all of them very prestigious.
