The identity of each of us is strongly linked to the territory where we were born and raised, to its geography of knowledge and history.
A particularly fitting assumption for BORZALINO - a brand and interior concept with laboratory and headquarters in Pistoia, Tuscany. The pivot - according to BORZALINO - is the living area, around which complete private and public spaces can be developed.
While waiting for the Salone del Mobile (Milan, June 2022), BORZALINO presented a preview of its new collection: extremely versatile and customizable products, recognizable above all for a “culture of quality” that embraces places and people. For this global artisan company, aesthetics and ethics are inseparable elements.
At BORZALINO, the manual processing of master craftsmen with decades of experience is combined with the search for raw materials of maximum quality, a search that favors the short supply chain and Tuscan production districts. Glass and metals worked with special techniques, precious woods and marbles, refined fabrics, but - above all - natural leathers.
The latter are the flagship of BORZALINO, since the Tuscan leather district has excelled for centuries, allowing this brand to buy locally from expert manufacturers and its artisans to specialize in upholstering seats with extreme precision and refinement.
SHIFU
Shifu is a sofa that resolves the tension between “less” and “more”. Its lines are simple, but not obvious and its modularity is extreme. The details - which really make the difference - are unique, like the manual seaming technique that BORZALINO developed and called "Safari": a braided leather piping that highlights every element.
REGINA
Designed by Andrea Andretta, Regina enhances the craftsmanship that has always distinguished Italian design and celebrates solid wood as a natural material par excellence: extremely versatile, warm, timeless, and a symbol of furniture-making tradition.
ALISO
Aliso is a side table designed by Luca Roccadadria where the curved metal base lends itself to numerous interpretations, being able to host an ambient light point as well as potted plants. Everything is customizable: from the internal lacquering to the glass top, that can be hammered or annealed.
BISBEE
Bisbee is a table designed by Luca Roccadadria as a tribute to industrial chic taste. Robust and almost crude at first visual impact, it actually presents an open and light structure, which does not clutter but defines the space, in both functional and aesthetic terms.
WATERFALL - Vegetable tanned leather
Together with the preview of the 2022 collection, BORZALINO has presented in recent weeks an innovative material: Waterfall Leather, a beautiful, natural upholstery that is also water repellent.
Waterfall is “vegetable tanned” , that is the transformation of animal skin into leather and it is made by using vegetable tannins. The tannins are obtained from the trunk and bark of trees such as chestnut, quebracho and mimosa.
The tannins are extracted from the by-products of the woodworking industry, thus without depleting forests, while the hides themselves derive from food industry waste.
The specific treatment allows Waterfall to maintain a warm appearance and, at the same time, to be water repellent. A beautiful and perfect material in all those environments where “accidents” could happen: home cinemas, living and game rooms, children’s rooms, but also any public space.
VIDEO WATERFALL
Waterfall and all the other materials available for product customization - ranging from structures to finishes through upholsteries - are visible on the company website with high-resolution images that make every interior designer's imagination wonder.
A unique collection, which highlights the finesse of the items, creating added value: BORZALINO quality materials are perfect complement to the meticulous processing, providing different identities for the tastes and lifestyle of each and everyone.
Customization is a key element at BORZALINO, whose project department can help in editing the existent collection as well as in developing bespoke furniture. Last but not least, its website offers access to a professional database, with downloadable 2d and 3d renders of all products.
