COVO

The collection spans a broad range of domestic objects united by a single design position: formal precision and material integrity over ornament. You will find lighting, seating, trays, mirrors, side tables, coat racks, and decorative accessories. The common thread is not product type but sensibility. Each object is produced in Italy through considered manufacturing and shaped by designers who treat everyday function as a discipline worth taking seriously.

The range is deliberately wide. Carrara marble, powder-coated steel, hand-braided rubber yarn, neoprene wire, flexible silicone, painted aluminum, crystal glass, and ash wood all appear across the collection. What connects them is an approach to material selection that treats the raw substance as central to the design: industrial materials redirected through artisan process, natural stones carved to a single resolved form, metals held to a flat, even finish. If assessing finish, weight, or tactile quality matters to your decision, visiting a showroom is worthwhile. Confirm what is currently on display before making the trip, or schedule an appointment to speak with a consultant about the full range.

Several pieces in the collection are made by hand, including poufs braided or woven from rubber yarn and neoprene wire. In those cases, no two objects carry exactly the same tension, rhythm, or surface density. The variation is intrinsic to the process, not incidental. Some are made to order, which extends delivery time but ensures each piece is produced with close attention. Carved stone pieces, by their nature, are categorically one of a kind. The Colosso pouf is a useful point of reference: hand-crocheted from 25 mm braided rubber yarn, each one carries a surface character that no two pieces fully share.

The collection sits at the intersection of Italian production culture and Nordic design economy. Many of the collaborating designers come from Finland and Scandinavia, bringing a formal restraint and directness of material logic that complements Italian manufacturing precision. The result is objects that resist decoration without becoming austere. Pieces where form and function occupy the same resolved space, made with the kind of attention that Italian studios have applied to everyday objects for decades. Minna Niskakangas is one of the collaborating designers whose work gives that dialogue a clear form.

Start with material character. Rubber yarn construction produces a firm, elastic surface with industrial origins and a tactile warmth that surprises on contact. Neoprene weaves tend to be softer and more expressive in surface texture, with visible variance between pieces. Consider scale next. Cylindrical and square forms occupy space differently in a room. If the object needs to function as a primary seat, prioritize dimensions and structural firmness. If it serves as an accent or textural counterpoint, surface character and silhouette matter more. Visiting a showroom to assess scale and feel in person is worthwhile. Confirm what is currently on display before making the trip.

Several pieces operate equally as sculpture and function. A standing pendulum clock that leans against the wall at a fixed angle reads as a sculptural object when not actively read. A wall-mounted coat rack in welded steel rods holds its formal presence whether dressed with coats or left empty. A Carrara marble side table carved from a single block anchors a room with the authority of a considered object rather than a piece of furniture. This dual register, functional when used and resolved when not, is a consistent quality across the collection. The Latva wall-mounted coat rack and the Tiuku standing pendulum clock are strong examples of that quality.

Sustainability here is embedded in material logic rather than applied as a label. Rubber yarn used in hand-braided poufs is fully recyclable. At end of life the material is shredded and reused in road asphalt. Silicone trays in the collection are manufactured through a low-energy process that the designer treats as inseparable from the object's identity. Neoprene wire is drawn from industrial production and redirected through slow, skilled hand-weaving. These are not afterthoughts. They are design decisions made at the point of material selection.

For objects where materiality, scale, and tactile quality are central to the decision, hand-braided poufs, marble side tables, floor lamps with mechanical counterweights, experiencing them in person is genuinely useful. Our showrooms across Chicago, Coral Gables, Miami, West Hollywood, San Francisco, and Menlo Park carry rotating selections of Italian design objects. Display changes over time, so confirm what is currently shown before visiting. Book an appointment in advance to ensure dedicated time with a design consultant who can discuss the full range.
