EGOUNDESIGN likes to think of the brand as a modern workshop, combining technological production and craftsmanship. Ego's design, both in-house and for third parties, is based on an approach that pays equal attention to the macro and micro scale, the design context as well as the detail, and that, with an inductive method, develops its solutions from everyday needs and experiences. Three-dimensional printing, with its potential and continuous evolution, is our super power. Continuous curiosity and passion for research, led to the creation of Ego design studio.With strong determination, Team Ego is positioned in the panorama of Design Made in Italy and innovative youth entrepreneurship under 30. Bolstered by the talent of its artisans, strengthened by the know-how experiences of its individual collaborators, and moved by a witty curiosity that leaves no rest to the creative moment, Ego enthusiastically proposes itself in perhaps the toughest and most difficult historical period of the last fifty years, giving birth to a brand that wants to be pure design.

Founded in 1932, FontanaArte is an Italian design company that has marked the "history of light and furnishings" in Italy and worldwide. Born of the idea of an architect, the company has always kept strong ties with the design world, gradually involving leading Italian and international architects and lighting designers.

With them, the company has created a true cultural project of architecture, lighting and furniture.

Founded in 1921 by Paolo Venini, a Milanese lawyer, and Giacomo Cappellin, a Venetian antiques dealer, Venini SpA, then Cappellin, Venini & C., would become a model of excellence in the world of artistic glass, laying the foundations for a stylistic identity that still distinguishes it today. Over the years, Venini has entered into important partnerships with such artists as Napoleone Martinuzzi, Carlo Scarpa, and Vittorio Zecchin and, in the postwar period, with Gio Ponti, Fulvio Bianconi, Tapio Wirkkala, and Mimmo Rotella, not to mention the contribution of contemporary designers and architects the likes of Peter Marino, Ron Arad, Tadao Ando, Gae Aulenti, Doriana e Massimiliano Fuksas, Ettore Sottsass, Alessandro Mendini, Gaetano Pesce, Emmanuel Babled, Francesco Lucchese, Monica Guggisberg, Philip Baldwin, Michela Cattai, Hani Rashid, Lise Anne Couture, Benjamin Moore Dan Dailey, Giorgio Vigna and many others. The forms and style of the original artistic production are thus continuously refreshed. With its iconic projects and new creations, the glassworks presents its works in two collections: Art Glass brings together a series of extraordinary sculptural vases and objects for interior decoration; Art Light features chandeliers and important lighting installations for large public or private spaces.

Venini boasts an unmatched colour palette that, together with the glassworking techniques, is part of a cultural heritage handed down from generation to generation. The Venini furnace is, in fact, the only one capable of producing 125 colours of glass, the fruit of a long and passionate search for formulae yielding new combinations. The structure is organised to operate with 14 ovens fired up at once, making available to the artists and master glassmakers a colour palette that has no equal.

VENINI has always created objects with a timeless design that are destined to appreciate in value. Thanks to the excellence of quality, the high artistic content, and the manufacturing value intrinsic to each piece, the hammer prices of VENINI glassware reach record figures at major auctions; in fact, the highest price ever paid for a Murano art object was for a VENINI piece, “La Sentinella di Venezia” signed by Thomas Stearns in 1962, which fetched 737 thousand dollars.

Creations bearing the Venini signature have become part of the permanent collections of museums of such calibre as the Metropolitan Museum and MoMA in New York, the Fondation Cartier in Paris, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Venini’s own museum contains 45,000 drawings, 10,000 vintage photos and 4,000 works of art, making it the most valuable historical archive of modern and contemporary glass art.

The Damiani family (owners of the eponymous international luxury jewellery brand), holds a controlling interest in Venini S.p.A., and their aim is to promote one of Italy's most authentically excellent brands.

Founded in 1968 by Enrico and Antonia Astori and Adelaide Acerbi, Driade quickly gained fame for ground-breaking design ideas and a very innovative manufacturing policy.

The dialectic between “furniture” and “equipment” generated long-standing collaboration with the most influential designers of the 1970’s as if to form an ideal gallery of “art editions”.

The mid-1990’s saw the birth of DriadeStore, a collection of furniture and objects for day-to-day living designed for all audiences and focusing on good design and production-system optimization.

In 2013, the company was taken over by ItalianCreationGroup, an Italian industrial holding company that buys and steps up the pace of growth in small and medium-sized enterprises that are known for their exceptional Italian creativity.

Today Driade looks out on a new era, under the creative direction of David Chipperfield, with a new innovative mind but continuing to propose a philosophy of living inspired at eclecticism and the meeting between different cultures.
