Lago
LAGO is an innovative Italian design furniture company — rooted in Villa del Conte (near Padua, Veneto, north-east Italy). The company history reaches back to the late 19th century, when Policarpo Lago worked as a craftsman in woodworking for noble Venetian villas and churches. The following generation launched the production of bedroom furniture, then entrance furniture; in the 1980s expansion into the living and sleeping area. In 2006 the family business in the fourth generation took the step into the global market: the craft workshop in Villa del Conte became a joint-stock company. Since then, Daniele Lago (CEO and Head of Design) together with his siblings Franco and Rosanna leads a team of around 170 employees; turnover approximately €30 million. LAGOFABBRICA — the production facility, designed by architect Italo Chiucchini according to the principles of sustainable industrial building in wood, glass, brick, terracotta, steel and aluminium — operates according to the Toyota philosophy (Lean Thinking, Kaizen).
Design philosophy: "Interior Life" — both the inner emotional life of the individual and the life of interiors: offices, homes, hotels, hospitals, schools. Design as alphabet, not as finished statement: LAGO develops modular systems that the user and the interior designer compose according to their own vision — participatory design from the bottom up. Genetic codes of LAGO products (after Daniele Lago): suspension, modularity, colour, contrast, mimicry. Iconic product: Fluttua bed (suspended, wall-mounted), 36e8 system (name from its measurements: modular shelving system with unlimited compositions). Current collaborations: Monica Armani (Venezia collection 2024 — Altana sofa, Alberoni table, Colombina chair). Product categories: kitchens, living, sleeping, office, hotel, hospital, school. Distribution: over 400 selected furniture stores worldwide; monobrand stores in Rome, Milan, London, Paris, Madrid, Barcelona, Berlin, Praha. Made in Italy.
