Tiferno is the ancient name of Citta di Castello that arose during the
Roman period along the shores of the Upper Tiber River, in the
northern part of Umbria, next to the boundaries of Tuscany and
Marche. The town has always been a very industrious center and
amongst various other activities, the making of furniture fl ourished
in the many alleys and alleyways in the center of Citta di Castello,
where it was designed and produced.
When Tiferno Mobili was created towards the end of the 70’s, by
Giulio Chiarioni under the name of Tiferno Artigianato Rustico, it was
with an idea to rediscover this ancient inherited form of producing
furniture, by rethinking and retransforming itself to adapt to the
requirements of present day needs and keeping alive the ancient
handicraft methods of producing furniture.
This is why when we talk of Tiferno Mobili we think of a company
that has the capacity of producing and distributing worldwide on an
industrial level and reminding itself of it’s own origins and ancient
city traditions, it still keeps working in the manner of “ancient”
handicraft. Today’s Catalogue is therefore the synthesis of many
years of work spent looking to our past and how we arrived at the
originality of the actual designs of the unique furniture pieces.
