Billiani, wooden and color chairs

Billiani is an Italian company that has been producing chairs for over a century in an area of small, specialized workshops, where the culture of wood has deep roots. Founded in 1911, Billiani is a company that believes in Made in Italy and design: its products, conceived in collaboration with both Italian and international designers, are an expression of a shared cultural heritage, as well as a family history. Billiani is located in Manzano, in the heart of a district that built its fortune on chairs, an area of small workshops and artisanal companies that carry forward a centuries-old heritage of knowledge.

«The work of Billiani is linked and intertwined with that of the local productive fabric: a guarantee of quality but also an investment in the supply chain, because every innovation enriches the know-how of the entire district».

Raw material is an essential component of Billiani's design. The material of choice is wood: beech, oak, ash, and walnut, which are selected and worked based on their technical and aesthetic characteristics. Much attention is also given to the textile component: Billiani's fabric collection is the result of chromatic and material research aimed at enhancing the shapes and volumes of the upholstered pieces, as well as their tactile appearance. Finally, Billiani relies on the craftsmanship of specialized workshops for metal and marble processing, as well as for the weaving of ropes, cords, and leathers.
