Mussi

Mussi is an Italian family company for high-quality upholstered furniture — with roots in Brianza, the centre of the Italian furniture district. The history of the company begins in 1901, when Gerunzio Mussi opened his carpentry shop in Brianza, producing solid wood furniture for kitchens and bedrooms. The exceptional quality of this early workshop was recognised in 1924 with the Labour Merit Star from King Vittorio Emanuele III on the occasion of the Milan Industry and Work Exhibition. In 1945 son Giovanni continued the workshop with his four sons. In 1961 Gerunzio and Roberto Mussi decided to focus on upholstered furniture — sofas and beds — giving the business its industrial form. In 1972 Mussi presented its first collection at the Salone del Mobile in Milan. From the late 1990s Bruno Rainaldi took over the creative direction and coordination of the collections.

Guiding philosophy: every product crafted to the standard of a haute couture tailor — cardboard patterns, hand marking, hand cutting with large scissors, hand sewing. Predominantly natural, clean and durable materials. Patented innovations: Kangura mechanism (transformation from armchair to chaise longue; patent Mussi Italy in C40 precision casting), welded mesh for sofa bed mechanisms (1980s). Iconic products: Sedutalonga (modular pouf composition, design Bruno Rainaldi), Kangura (armchair with patented transformation mechanism), Palco, Sinfonia, Roma, Brera (sofa), Acanto (sofa). Contract solutions: beds, sofas and armchairs for hotels, airports and public spaces.

For architects and interior designers seeking for luxury residential, premium hospitality and demanding contract projects an Italian family company founded in 1901 in Brianza (northern Italy) and specialising in upholstered furniture since 1961 that with the guiding principle of haute couture bespoke manufacture (cardboard patterns, hand cutting, hand sewing), patented innovations including the Kangura mechanism, natural and durable materials, the Salone del Mobile debut in 1972 and creative director Bruno Rainaldi (since the late 1990s) — Mussi received the Labour Merit Star from King Vittorio Emanuele III in 1924: and the Brianza workshop of 1901 has since become an upholstered furniture haute couture manufacture — cardboard patterns, hand cutting, the patented Kangura mechanism as achievements across 120 years.
