Our attention to the environment, a topic we have always been extremely sensitive to, finally finds expression with our "Naturalia" line: a project that speaks of nature, ecology, comfort and new resources: an entire line of furnishings made with alternative and sustainable materials.
The Naturalia project was born in the early 90s, at a premature stage compared to market demands and consumer awareness of sustainability and environmental impact issues.
Over the years, this sensitivity has grown, and we have decided to reintroduce our production strategy to the upholstered furniture market.
This line includes sofas and armchairs made with ecological materials designed with your health and comfort in mind. Our furnishings are the best choice for an "environmentally friendly" home.

Italo: the new Naturalia sofa offers customizable comfort for your natural home
In 2019, we began a new chapter of this project by introducing a more contemporary product to the market that respected the mission of the Naturalia collection.
Italo is a sofa with simple shapes and soft padding precisely to enhance the message this product aims to convey: an item made with entirely natural materials that significantly reduces environmental impact.
It consists of a linear and modular frame that offers total flexibility regarding the composition and size of the sofa.
The research for innovative materials was the key to the success of this project.
The Italo experience paved the way for a new understanding of comfort. Today, many of our sofas can be made in the Naturalia version, combining aesthetics, well-being, and sustainability.

Identifying all the elements that met the project's criteria was a process that led to the introduction of materials never before used in upholstered products.
The most important challenge was the replacement of expanded polyurethane, a component of upholstered products with a significant environmental impact. Research led to the introduction of a new microcellular expanded polyurethane made from plant-based raw material.
Lympha is the solution we were looking for, an innovative low-impact foam that ensures maximum comfort, thanks to high production technology and the high quality of the raw materials it is made from.
The padding is covered with a certified EDFA and RDS goose down duvet, which qualitatively finishes the seats and backrests of the sofa.
The structure, made entirely of natural wood, ensures durability, a key factor in environmental respect, allowing us to guarantee our product for 20 years.
In addition to the structure and padding, we worked on the research and selection of covering materials, choosing completely natural fabrics with various types of yarn: cotton, linen, hemp, jute, and natural blends.

Why choose a hemp sofa?
Furniture is always a big purchase, and not just financially. You need to find something that aligns with your style, is high-quality, and can last for years.
As for fabrics, hemp is a wonderful option for your sofa upholstery. It is a sturdy and durable material that can withstand a greater degree of wear and tear. Hemp is thicker than traditional cotton and has more texture.
A hemp sofa is a truly valid option for families looking for furniture that can withstand heavy use.
Hemp is also an incredibly sustainable resource as it is a natural product and not synthetic or chemically treated.
For the Naturalia collection, we offer an organic and GOTS certified hemp fabric, made with respect for the environment and available in various color options.
If you are looking for a sofa that respects nature and improves your daily well-being, the Naturalia collection is the answer.
