Design rhymes with Italy! Adriano Baldanzi and Alessandro Novelli, born and bred in Tuscany, know this all too well! After graduating in Industrial Design at ISIA in Florence they embarked on a design adventure that has led them to be considered amongst the best Italian designers in the seating and office furniture sector, and not only. In fact, 30 years of experience have enabled them to develop a great design culture and a thorough understanding of the technology available and the real demands of the different markets, to the point that they are considered more partners than designers by the companies that choose them. This approach has always been in their DNA: their career took off after having founded and developed the company Casamania in the early eighties, which was later sold to Frezza, a prestigious Italian brand. They then devoted themselves to their true vocation: design. Their career encompasses some emblematic geographical milestones: working first in a small but very demanding Italy, then in Europe, they are now in demand all over the world. Their homeland is a source of constant inspiration and their international experiences offer constant enrichment.
Huy Furniture started from the hardware accessories workshop in Xiqing Industrial Park, Longjiang Town, Foshan City. At the beginning, we were engaged in production and sales of office chairs, hardware, plastic accessories and other raw materials. Nevertheless, we had a tremendously curious spirit, which lead us to discover fields we never believed possible. After a lot of hardwork, we became a global company, focusing on training seats, because training means helping people to be better, and we want to be part of our user’s learning processes. Even though we have outgrown who we were in the beginning, our restless spirit continues to move on. Whether it is to define new technologies for training seats, enhance the training experience, or foresee new training methods, we are commited to exploring and finding the ideal training space to make ideas become reality. We like to work as a bridge between science and design, finding the balance between people, space and furniture.
