Colico is an Italian furniture manufacturer with a history of over one hundred years, founded in 1920 by Andrea Colico as a craft chair workshop in Cabiate (Brianza, Lombardy) — a region in which the first woodworking and drawing schools were emerging at that time and artisanal furniture-making was flourishing. Andrea's son Antonio relocated the company to Varedo (near Milan), opened a production site in Friuli for woodworking and participated for the first time in the Salone del Mobile in Milan in 1970 — a fair to which the Colico family remained faithful for the following 50 years. The decisive strategic shift came from Walter Colico from 1982 onwards: under his leadership the previously traditionally oriented company became the internationally positioned design manufacturer Colico Design, with an international distribution network, collaborations with well-known designers and a presence at Salone del Mobile, Maison&Objet and Crocus (Moscow).

Iconic products: Annette (Max Caspani + Max Colombo, 1991 — Young & Design Award), Joker stool (Fausto di Martino, 2001 — Young & Design), Geo stool (di Martino, 2003 — Young & Design), Brera chair (solid wood, referencing classic Italian restaurant chairs with a new reinforcement element), Milano2015 (Walter Colico + architect Kicco Bestetti, 2010 — polycarbonate chair as a homage to Milan, a declaration of love for the city as Expo 2015 host; pastel and primary colours). Range: chairs, tables, stools, sofas, outdoor, lighting, furnishing accessories. Materials: wood (ash, oak, beech), metal, polycarbonate. Made in Italy. Sustainability as a declared production principle.

For architects and interior designers, Colico is the Brianza brand with the longest continuous family and production history in its segment — with a chair programme that consistently mediates between craft tradition and contemporary material expression (polycarbonate, lacquer, solid wood), and an outdoor range that transfers the same design principles to exterior spaces.
