Italian creativity, artisan tradition and international vocation are the distinctive traits of Potocco, a family–run company that has been studying and creating furniture for indoor and outdoor environments for almost a century. Founded in 1919 by Domenico Potocco in Manzano (UD), as a small artisan workshop for the production of chairs, Potocco has evolved over the years into a large industrial reality, specialised in the production of home and contract furnishings. A history of excellence that covers the entire 20th century, along a trail of growth which—from its participation to the first Salone del Mobile trade fair as a founding partner—has led Potocco to collaborate with important brands.

Jan Kath Design has revolutionised the world of rugs. For nearly 30 years, the brand has been shaping the international design scene with its work. While the creative language spans a broad spectrum, production remains deliberately rooted in tradition. Each carpet is crafted using centuries–old hand–knotting techniques in selected workshops in Nepal and India, certified for sustainability by the Swiss label STEP. Knot by knot, skilled artisans translate the designs into textile art. Only premium natural materials are used, including hand–combed Tibetan highland wool, fine Chinese silk, and Nepalese nettle. This balanced material composition gives the rugs a distinctive tactile quality and a deep, layered presence beyond the surface.
