EXCELLENT RAW MATERIALS
HIGH QUALITY STARTS HERE
The ability to select the best materials is the starting point of the pursuit of excellence, a difficult task made with passion and made possible by the great experience gained over the years.
We only use high quality leather, fabrics and wood, our master craftsmen expertly combine
different materials creating extraordinary products.
THE LEATHER
SENSUALITY AND ELEGANCE
We use “vegetable tanned” leathers, that is leathers processed using tanning products extracted from the bark of trees such as quebracho, chestnut and mimosa. Vegetable tanning requires many days of intense and careful work at the end of which the leather obtained maintains its natural, shiny, brilliant and soft characteristics unchanged over time.
The company is located in the “Comprensorio del cuoio” (the Leather District), the beating heart of the tanning industry renowned worldwide. Here, the age-old art of tanning merges with modern technology, offering a valuable raw material with unique characteristics.
We have selected the highest quality leathers that transform every surface into a luxurious tactile experience, inviting contact and comfort. Resistant and long-lasting, they grant each creation a unique beauty and experience of comfort.
THE WOOD
PRECIOUS SELECTED TIMBER SPECIES
Ulivi products arise from the historic cabinet-making tradition through the use of selected materials such as solid wood and leaves.
From the expert hands of Tuscan artisans, products modeled and finished entirely by hand are born, the support of modern machine tools allows us to create functional and contemporary products that retain a deep connection with tradition.
The chosen woods guarantee a unique aesthetic beauty as well as a resistance that defies the passage of time. Each processing phase is a ritual that honors the richness of the grain, the variety of tones and the unique texture of each individual piece.
The variety of timber species offers a fascinating play of contrasts in our creations. American walnut, with its warm colors, combines harmoniously with softer woods that are used to create the internal sections, combinations that reflect the meticulous attention to technical and aesthetic detail. Other timber species, presented in a varied range of colours, from vibrant brightness to intense black, broaden the customization options for each product.
Supported by the most traditional cabinet-making techniques and guided by the passion for wood, we collaborate with designers in search of the maximum exaltation of this precious material. Vision and passion transform each piece into a unique work, masterfully blending tradition and contemporary vision. The possibility of combining wood and other noble materials paves the way for infinite expressive solutions, for a lifestyle dedicated to customers who seek uniqueness.
THE FABRICS.
COMFORT AND DURABILITY
We collaborate closely with prestigious textile manufacturers to ensure that the fabrics used meet the high standards required by our production.
Our textile collection is a kaleidoscope of textures, colors and patterns, curated to meet the highest standards of contemporary design. From soft velvets to luxurious jacquards, each fabric is chosen for its intrinsic quality, its resistance and its ability to transform a product from a simple object to a functional work.
The attention to detail extends to the choice of fibres, guaranteeing not only comfort but also durability over time. Our passion for high-end fabrics translates into creations that not only adorn spaces with elegance, but also enrich the daily experience with a touch of luxury and distinctive style. The quality of the fabrics is the underlining thread of our commitment to extraordinary design.
THE MARBLE.
RESISTANCE AND REFINEMENT
In our design philosophy, marble is an undisputed protagonist, a precious stone that we skillfully shape to create surfaces of extraordinary elegance. We carefully select various types of marble among the most valuable, each with its unique veins and shades, to ensure that each surface is a work of art in and of itself.
The choice of marble, with its evocative natural beauty, is not only aesthetic but also functional. Each surface becomes a combination of resistance and refinement, a tangible testimony of our dedication to excellent materials.
Each type of marble is selected to transform a simple table into a timeless style statement. With Ulivi, marble is not just a material, but the foundation on which we build luxury and art, offering a unique experience to every space.
THE METALS.
STRENGTH AND BEAUTY
The search for excellent materials also extends to the realm of metals. Through sophisticated shines or magnetic depths, these details created with care and meticulousness complete the creations by adding notes that further enhance the result and the final effect.
Steel, iron and brass are expertly integrated into the solid wood structures, creating a perfect combination of elegance, style and lightness. Through meticulous transformation, the metals are subjected to customized finishing and painting processes, harmonizing impeccably with the design.
Strength and beauty coexist harmoniously, the commitment to excellence is reflected in every aspect.
