Paolo Cattelan
Picture the soft Mediterranean light spilling through the windows of a Vicenza workshop, illuminating the deliberate, methodical movements of a master craftsman. This is the world Paolo Cattelan grew up in, a realm where design and craftsmanship aren’t just careers — they're legacies.
Born in 1973 in Thiene, Italy, Cattelan inherited more than just a family business. He absorbed a design philosophy deeply rooted in Italy’s storied tradition of furniture-making, emboldened by his contemporary, avant-garde sensibility.
Paolo’s path into Cattelan Italia in 1995 wasn’t just a business decision but a continuation of a lineage of artistry. His designs blend the weight of tradition with the airiness of modern expression, evoking the raw yet refined aesthetic sensibilities that have shaped Italy’s cultural identity for centuries. There’s a sense of gravitas in his work, balanced by an undercurrent of playful experimentation.
Paolo Cattelan pieces engage with the evolution of Italian design itself. More than a reflection of trends, they're a dialogue between past, present & future.
