Founded in 1882 the Fantoni family company grew into an industrial furniture manufacturer in the 1920s. The company earned a permanent place in the history of furniture making with the introduction of the Serie 45 range designed by architect Gino Valle and displayed at the Museum of Modern Art in new York in 1974. The 45 series characterised by its distinct edge profile remains a hallmark of the Fantoni aesthetic. Today, still a family business, the company has grown into a successful international force in industrial office furniture design with a vision of simplicity and openness and well being.
