Ceccotti Collezioni

The history of Ceccotti Collezioni finds its origins from the foundation, in 1956, of Ceccotti Aviero. The company, born as a manufacturer of furniture for the home and subsequently established in hotel supplies, has collaborated with the most prestigious international chains, such as Trusthouse Forte in London, Sheraton and Ciga, giving international scope to an activity born from the great artisan tradition di Cascina, a small Tuscan town located between Florence and Pisa. The training of the skilled workers of the company, in fact, arose from the craft culture in the field of furniture and woodworking thanks to a prestigious Art School that forged skilled designers and carpenters.The company's journey continues inspired by countless collaborations which determined its development and growth. In 1986 the famous Italian architect, theorist of the "post modern" project, Paolo Portoghesi, will contribute to the design of some of the most prestigious and recognizable historical pieces of production; but it will only be in 1988 that contemporary design becomes a concrete productive argument with the birth of Ceccotti Collezioni. It was thanks to a courageous intuition by Franco Ceccotti and the Pisan designer Roberto Lazzeroni that the company's craftsmanship was open to critical reflection within a contemporary design research, starting with the first "Dedos Tenidos" collection. The experimentation of new shapes and materials is influenced by the eclectic and surrealistic world of Gaudì, Mollino and the Scandinavian design of the 50s, giving rise to objects with organic, anthropomorphic sinuosity, where curves of soft sensuality are linked with darting profiles. Ceccotti Collezioni is a unique company recognized worldwide in the field of interior design and this thanks to its ability to create products of the author, unique in their originality and complexity of their realization; a design that without the ostentation of industrial geometries but also without aesthetic frivolities, aims to bring the objects back to a tradition, a story. Over the years, Franco Ceccotti has worked with passion on a project of coordination and research that combines his aesthetic and intellectual inclinations, the manual tradition of his company and the different stylistic imprints of the designers who collaborated with him to create a dialogue with the cultures from various parts of the world, trying to model their projects on Ceccotti forms. Ceccotti Collezioni has demonstrated the character and the qualities of a company that has never denied its intimate vocation to luxury craftsmanship, but has been able to translate it into new contemporary interpretations through products that, in the era of virtuality, deny the representation and they demand a tactile, fully sensual relationship.
