Dreamed and made in Italy
The motto of TATO is “Dreamed and Made in Italy”, because it was conceived to do things well.
There’s a deep knowledge within artisanal practice: doing things well, for a company that produces lighting and furnishing design items, also means to express a precise attitude and way of life. It means to purposely cultivate a personal idea of what freedom is, albeit in an understated way; the idea of new, of something you don’t know you’re looking for, because it lives with you everyday. TATO aims to rediscover and preserve the artisanal skills and noble taste that really distinguish modern and contemporary Italy.
Design of a lifetime
The main goal of our products is to be high quality, to last more than a lifetime so they can be passed on from one generation to the next. We achieve this by relying on the best Italian artisans and materials: marble producers from Carrara and other parts of Tuscany, glass from Venice, and the best metal workers and upholsterers of northern Italy. Our lighting elements are all retrofittable (upgradable and future-proof to newer industry standards), so technology is welcome but doesn’t get in the way of the design.
The collection
TATO features a growing collection of lighting items, with finishings that go from all the variations of brass, to chrome, to bronze and other materials able to satisfy our lovely spoiled customers. More recently, a whole furniture collection has also been introduced, reintroducing important works from the past. Some highlight are Ignazio Gardella’s “Piedi Regolabili” table, designed in 1951 for Altamira in New York, and the Angolo armchair modules by Corrado Corradi Dell’Acqua.
TATO aims to rediscover timeless projects by great Maestri such as Gio Ponti, Ignazio Gardella and Corrado Corradi Dell’Acqua, and also create new items with a strongly evocative vibe, in collaboration with distinguished contemporary designers. The main inspiration for our visual language and materials is the post-war mid-Century style, born from the need to find furnishing solutions capable of establishing a dialogue with the emerging new structures, especially in a city like Milan, in which all of our designers have deep roots.
