Ceccotti Collezioni
Ceccotti Collezioni works almost entirely in solid wood, in a Tuscan workshop between Pisa and Florence with roots in a local school of cabinetmaking. What began in 1956 as a maker of hotel and residential furniture became, in 1988, a design-led collection when founder Franco Ceccotti partnered with architect Roberto Lazzeroni — a partnership that still defines the brand’s sculptural, hand-finished approach to wood. BeDESIGN carries Ceccotti Collezioni in Houston, Texas. Visit our showroom to see the craftsmanship in person, or request a custom quote for your project.
About Ceccotti Collezioni
Ceccotti Collezioni traces to 1956, when Ceccotti Aviero was founded in Cascina, Tuscany, making furniture for hotel groups and residential clients. Cascina had its own tradition of woodworking training through a local school of art, which shaped generations of craftsmen in the area. In 1986, postmodern architect Paolo Portoghesi contributed designs that became some of the company’s most recognizable early pieces, and in 1988 Franco Ceccotti — the founder and art director of what became the Ceccotti Collezioni brand — launched the first true design collection, “Dedos Tenidos,” with Pisan architect Roberto Lazzeroni. That partnership, drawing on influences from Gaudí to Carlo Mollino to Scandinavian design of the 1950s, marked the company’s shift from furniture maker to design house.
Ceccotti Collezioni is now part of the Lifestyle Design Group, alongside sister brand Poltrona Frau, which it joined in 2019.
The designers
Roberto Lazzeroni remains the collection’s most extensive collaborator, with dozens of pieces to his name over nearly four decades. Spanish designer Jaime Hayon has designed for the brand, along with Vincenzo De Cotiis, Massimo Castagna, and Studio DRIFT, among others.
What makes Ceccotti Collezioni different
The company’s own language for its work is “unostentatious luxury” — furniture built to become an heirloom, passed from one generation to the next, made from solid American walnut chosen specifically for how it ages and holds up over decades. Ceccotti Collezioni describes time itself as its most precious material, and the joinery-forward, sculptural silhouettes across the collection — curved desks, anthropomorphic seating — read as much like woodworking as furniture design.
