The range of Maxalto

traditional seating designs distinguished by a seat cushion with a band and
trim or decorated with cappitonne stitching. All elements with traditional seating
can be custom made. While still preserving all the formal features and comfort.
Covers are available in leather with dyed trim or fabric with matching trim.
MAXALTO SOFAS
Maxalto
furnishes your living room with unmistakable style. Sofas with a sophisticated
spirit for people who love contemporary design with a hint of traditional
style, and also for people who want functional solutions without passing up
elegance. Furnish your living room with high quality and timeless elegance.
CONTEMPORARAY SOFAS ...
In a period residence or a glass-panelled penthouse,
Maxalto's solutions are always the expression of luxury and rigorous design,
creativity and balance, versatile features and personality.
The ensemble of furnishings creates a combination of different languages able
to communicate an area of distinctive taste. Maxalto collections are able to
dialogue amongst themselves to recreate different situations and atmospheres
based on our personal interpretation. Modularity, form and fabrics set off the
characteristics of the sofas. Linear 2 or 3 seat sofas, corner sofas or
L-shaped compositions interpret contemporary style to offer the highest comfort
and flexibility.
Fabric sofas express a softer, more comfortable style that can take on more
luxurious accents with a glossy velvet, or evoke retrò atmospheres with a linen
cover. Seams made by expert tailors recall the language of haute couture.
The choice of colours can fall within a single chromatic range, playing with a tone-on-tone effect and matching different textures. This clearly aristocratic image is completed with the pleasure of discovering the feel of precious new materials. Think of the rigour and seriousness of natural linen or the seductive delicateness of velvet, or even the aged look and weave of chenille. Patterns can enrich the composition by evoking the classic charm of coordinates. Covering Maxalto rooms means entering a whole new dimension of elegance and trying the exclusiveness of a sophisticated lifestyle that seeks out luxury in quality details and the sensory characteristics of the materials.
Leather sofas offer a strong, prestigious presence and can have a single seat enhanced by a square capitonnè pattern. Leathers chosen by Maxalto come from European bred calves. In choosing these leathers, we can offer a greater guarantee with regard to the care and attention towards the animal. These types of leather for furnishings are the best material available on the global market.
Alongside standard production, rigorously Made in Italy, Maxalto also uses artisan processes, which make the company flexible and able to satisfy the need for customised furniture, just like in an atelier. An example? The Lucrezia sofa is available in custom formats. All modules that comprise this piece can be customised in width and depth.
Italian excellence is seen from history, tradition, taste and most importantly, quality. Maxalto sofas are made with cold moulded polyurethane foam and have a solid metal frame. These aspects guarantee maximum comfort, uniformity of seats and resistance.

ON AIR FROM MARCH
Two subjects which highlight the furniture exellence and the
collection philosophy: the table Xilos and the chairs Acanto for the dining
area; the sofa Lucrezia, the armchairs Febo, the small table Pathos and the
consolle Orione for the living area.
The rooms of a charming old Normandy castle are the background to
the furniture: extremely tall windows that filter the unmistakeable light of
the North, pure white boiserie panelling, stucco and original parquet.
The location, important yet neutral, becomes the stage-like setting
in which the Maxalto furniture steals the limelight: classical but contemporary
at the same time, elegant and painstaking but never severe; on the contrary, at
times it is tempted by hints of glamour and flashes of colour.
The valuable craftsmanship of the past dialogues with and
emphasises the consummate quality of Maxalto’s designs.
In accordance with the creative verve of its designer Antonio
Citterio, Maxalto draws inspiration from the spirit of the middle-class room
and the lessons of the finest interior decorators of the 20th century,
associating the aesthetics of the contemporary world with the artistic concepts
of classic tradition.
