The Ceccotti Collezioni story heralds from Ceccotti Aviero, a
company founded in 1956, specializing in the production of
residential furniture and later in supplying hotels.The company
collaborated with some of the most prestigious hotel groups in
the world, Trusthouse Forte from London, Sheraton and Ciga,
giving an international application to the traditional artisan
workmanship of the Tuscan town of Cascina, nestled between
Florence and Pisa, where the company is based.
In 1986 the renowned Italian architect Paolo Portoghesi,
theorist of the ‘post modern’ contributed to the design of some
of the most recognizable and prestigious pieces produced by
the company. It is only with the birth of Ceccotti Collezioni by
Franco Ceccotti that contemporary design becomes a significant
cornerstone of the company.
Thanks to the intuition and perception of Franco Ceccotti and
architect Roberto Lazzeroni, also from Pisa, with the ‘know-how’
that the company had, gave life to the first collection ‘Dedos
Tenidos’, receiving critical acclaim in the world of contemporary
design.
