Modern Chairs Born in the City of Art
Located about 50 kilometers west of Venice, the city of water. Vicenza, in the Veneto region, designed by the 15th century architect Andrea Palladio and his students, is dotted with mansions that are registered as World Heritage Sites. Sitia, a maker of tailor made modern style chairs was established in this city of art in 2002. The company is lead by maestro
Pergentino Battocchio who has 47 years of experience making chairs for office, home and hotel. Taking Pride in Tailor Made
Beautiful artistic form, leather that is slippery to the touch, wrapping around your body when you sit for an elegantly comfortable feeling. Customers from all over the world are fascinated by Sitia chairs. With respect for the individual cultures of their various customers, Sitia does not force it’s own personal style, all chairs are tailor made.
“Of course we have the materials, but we also have the skill to meet any request”
This is the pride of the Italian furniture artisan. Communicating Techniques from Mouth to Ear
All the production design of Sitia is based on the long experience of Mr. In his head are the memories of many of the works that he has seen over the long years. Once he has fully processed his ideas and the image is clear in his head, he grabs a pencil and sketches directly onto plywood. His style is to create a model by layering boards using hand tools and a ruler. Upon receiving the parts ordered from the supplier, he does the work himself, everything from packing the cushion materials to assembly. He pays close attention to where to focus energy and which places to check during the process. For about six months, he repeats the process 50 times so that he can fully understand the points that the craftsmen should pay attention to. Battocchio finally tells the craftsmen in charge of each process about the techniques for producing the new chair. Because his specific directions are followed faithfully, perfect products are born. Sitia’s message to his costumers
Take an innocent look at the most common, everyday act. Simplify, return to the essence of action, to make it more natural, free and comfortable. A strong, original design: innovation isn’t limited to the details. New arrangements for office life were studied: tensions, dynamics, the most modern concepts of posture and sitting. The free, flexible design supports the actions and movements of working people, their thoughts, talents, expectations, decisions. Please take a seat in one of our “Made In Italy” chairs: we think that maybe you can discover the excellence of tailor made chairs.
