Craftsmanship
Italian leather furniture, made the way it was always meant to be
Every Matteograssi piece passes through the hands of the atelier, from the selection of the hide to the final burnished edge. The techniques are those of the 1880 saddlery, applied to contemporary design.

From the hide to the finished piece
-
01Selection
Coach hide is chosen by hand for grain, thickness and consistency.
-
02Cutting
Every panel is cut from the hide by a single craftsman, as in the saddlery.
-
03Stitching
Seams are stitched with saddlery techniques carried through five generations.
-
04Finishing
Edges are worked, burnished and finished before the piece leaves Cantù.
Some things should never be automated.
