Billiani
We have produced wooden chairs in Italy for over a century, in a region of small specialized workshops where the culture of wood has deep roots.
The Billiani company was founded in 1911 to produce chairs in curved wood with caning. In 2019 Cristina Celestino, an architect and designer based in Milan, was appointed as the company’s artistic director. The chair is still a central focus, as is the material: wood, the true leitmotif of the collection.
Daniel Fintzi
Daniel Fintzi studied philosophy at Tel Aviv University, in his home town, before moving to Milan to earn a diploma in industrial design at the Istituto Europeo di Design. After spells in Paris and London he returned to Milan as a freelance designer, and in 2008 he founded his Design Intervention studio in Shanghai.
The studio has since expanded to Hong Kong and exhibited at the Salone del Mobile and Promosedia. He also runs FORMAR, a brand of furniture made from remnant marble blocks. For Billiani he designed Askew in 2009, a minimalist chair, armchair and sofa.
