ACERBIS

One of the most enduring furniture companies in Italy, Acerbis stands as a connoisseur’s benchmark of Italian design, a pioneer with 150 years of expertise, whose continual search for modernity has produced creations of stunning innovation. First founded in 1870 by Benvenuto Acerbis in Bergamo’s Valle Seriana, “Benvenuto Acerbis Tappezzerie, Falegname e Carpentiere. Fabbrica Mobiglia a Motore Elettrico. Impianti Completi” (Benvenuto Acerbis Upholsterer, Joiner and Carpenter. Electric Motor Furniture Factory. Complete Systems), so said the sign, already hinting at one of the pillars of the Acerbis philosophy: the dialogue between technology, artisan skills and a profound knowledge of materials. Acerbis introduced cutting-edge industrial production and collaborations with some of Italy’s most trailblazing designers by the 1960s under Lodovico Acerbis, including Giotto Stoppino, Massimo and Lella Vignelli, Vico Magistretti, Nanda Vigo and Gianfranco Frattini. Acerbis impart a fundamental luxury experience of design for users to match the conceptual aesthetic solutions of the furnishings. Over these years of experimentation and industrialization, Acerbis forged its DNA of Italian ingenuity for a future-gazing clientele ever since. Looking to the past to face the challenges of the future, Acerbis takes on the great changes of our era, and the need to create a more sustainable society, a future that returns to a time when objects were made to last, when we needed only a few things but things that were beautiful and high-quality, when design meant a radical break from tradition and creating innovative products with the latest technology and material developments.
