A unique way of doing things. Every laCividina sofa and armchair tells a story of manufacturing tradition and Italian quality, through the boundless language of contemporary design. From project development to the finished product, all laCividina collections are created entirely at the Martignacco plant, an environment that promotes the experience and skills of each individual. Step by step, laCividina has evolved from a small workshop into a cutting edge organisation, while retaining the added value of craftsmanship that defines all the production stages. This balance enables laCividina to stand out for its ability to also craft custom made products, whilst respecting the characteristics and personality of the original design project.

A life–centred approach ensures no harmful disruptors enter the environment, protecting everyone from maker to end user.

The ALPIlignum Collection is FSC® 100% certified (FSC–C004666), thanks to full control of the supply chain.
