Colos is an Italian furniture brand founded in 2013 by Cerantola SpA — a company with a long industrial background in furniture manufacturing. The founding concept was precise: to develop affordable, high-quality products that combine the heritage of Italian know-how with the creative energy of young international designers. What Colos understood from the outset as its working model is less a design office than a meeting platform: young designers of various nationalities encounter the industrial experience of the house — and the collections emerge from this exchange. The entire production takes place exclusively in the company's own factories in Loria (Veneto, northern Italy). The company regards this location decision as a quality commitment: direct control over every production step, guaranteed working conditions, Made in Italy.
Range: chairs, stools, benches and tables for gastronomy, public spaces and outdoor use. Products and designers: C1 (Fabian Schwaerzler — stackable plastic chair, indoor and outdoor), TA tables (Jeremiah Ferrarese), STECCA (aluminium, stackable — chair, stool, garden bench), PIAZZA, SPLIT, DAILY 1 (oak plywood, indoor), MOMO NET 2 (steel with mesh weave), EDGE (HPL, cast iron base). Materials: aluminium, HPL, polypropylene, oak, steel. Many models stackable. Reference projects: Palazzo Marcello Hotel Al Sole, Venice (terrace with C1 chairs in red and green — project La Centrale Interni).
For architects and hospitality planners, Colos is the most pragmatic answer to the question of affordable contract furniture with a consistent Made-in-Italy background — without the price demands of established design brands, but with the same manufacturing philosophy, since the industrial base of parent company Cerantola SpA makes the difference.
