Naturedesign is an Italian furniture company for sustainable wood furniture — based in Cerea (Province of Verona, Veneto, north-east Italy), led in the third generation of craftsmen, currently under Thomas Franco. The company started with the fundamental idea of breathing new life into centuries-old wood from historic buildings — a material that visibly carries time and makes every piece of furniture a unique object. From this fundamental idea a guiding philosophy of natural responsibility developed: to create furniture that is increasingly respectful of the environment and inspired by the surrounding nature. Materials: rare reclaimed wood from historic architecture (centuries old), combined with stone, leather, glass (incl. traditional Murano glass), metal. All lacquers water-soluble. Packaging plastic-free. Logistics CO2-conscious.
Design philosophy: every curve and every form originates from a natural starting point — realised in the bespoke manufacture of each product. Product categories: tables, armchairs, benches, bookcases, sideboards. Iconic pieces: ILL table (centuries-old wood/glass top on cast-iron moulds), Sail table (movement concept), Waterfall table (full glass), Lymph table (biomorphic form, new conviviality concept), Bay Wood armchair (timeless, urban).
For architects and interior designers seeking for luxury residential, premium boutique hotel, fine dining and demanding contract projects with an authenticity and sustainability claim a Cerea/Verona furniture company led in the third craftsmen generation under Thomas Franco that with the core idea of revitalising centuries-old reclaimed wood from historic architecture, natural complementary materials (stone, leather, Murano glass, metal), water-soluble lacquers, plastic-free packaging, CO2-conscious logistics and artisanal bespoke manufacture from the north-east Italian cabinetmaking tradition — Naturedesign turns centuries-old reclaimed wood from historic buildings into furniture that makes time and history materially experienceable: every piece a unique object, made in the third generation of craftsmen.
