Maxalto – Italian Precision and Elegance at Herrendorf

Maxalto presents itself as a "Made in Italy" brand that has consciously distanced itself from fast-paced trends since its founding in 1975. Initially part of B&B Italia, Maxalto soon developed its own identity in the specialized production of handcrafted furniture. Always in focus: the pursuit of the highest quality standards in terms of materials and workmanship. This is evident in the choice of name, as "Maxalto" is derived from the terms "massa alto" from the Venetian dialect, which means "the highest".

The designs draw on familiar proportions and classic typologies, but then translate them into a precise, contemporary form. 

The brand was initially significantly shaped by Afra Scarpa and Tobia Scarpa (1975 – 1992), and later (since 1993) primarily by Antonio Citterio, who continues to determine its design direction.

With Maxalto, the material is always at the forefront.

Wood, leather, and textile surfaces define the effect of the furniture, not as decoration, but as a supporting element. The combination of artisanal care and industrial precision remains consistently palpable.

The brand's products have never followed the latest trends, but instead offer a wealth of possibilities for comfort, conviviality, and enhance the home as a private, domestic space with a social dimension.

In the Herrendorf showroom, we present a selection of pieces that reflect Maxalto's philosophy.
