We are back in the 1960s, a vital and stimulating period for Italian design, and Former is among its protagonists.
The Company was founded in the heart of Brianza, a district of excellence in furniture production. Its origins date back to an artisan workshop that began operating in 1925; craftsmanship continues to be the fulcrum of industrial-scale production. Pioneer of a design approach combining formal intuition and constructive precision, Former launched projects such as Plinto, Zeronove and Euro, destined to become contemporary classics.
In 2010, the Company reorganized its corporate structure, strengthening its presence across international markets for residential and commercial settings.
Its identity is expressed in a new concept of containers; night and day systems that become themselves architectural space partitions, open and freely configurable forms. In addition to setting industrial standards, wardrobes, bookcases, walk-in closets and wooden panels are sartorial objects.
An aesthetic of emotions engendered by a smart processing of materials. Wood, leather, glass, metals and light – materials with functionality engendered by the use of advanced technologies. Today, like yesterday, every piece of Former furniture is made in the Brianza region, becoming the expression of Former’s deep bond with the territory.
Timeless shapes that combine research and tradition for sophisticated and eclectic consumers.
