Progetti is an Italian furniture and objects brand. Based in Calate Brianza in Lombardy, we have been researching and creating home and office furniture for over 30 years. The company's products, which are original, functional, and environmentally friendly, are created in collaboration with a number of famous designers. Based on the concept of free thinking, simplicity, and enriching the sensibilities of the user, we always pursue high-quality products, from the selection of materials to the skill of our craftsmen.   This Fontana umbrella stand was designed by Davide Tonizzo from Toronto. After studying mechanical engineering in Canada, he moved to Italy where he designed numerous automobiles including Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Fiat, and Lancia. Furthermore, he studied furniture and lighting design in Milan, established his own studio in Toronto in 1992, and is currently active internationally. Fontana, the name of the umbrella stand, means “fountain” in Italian. Its sophisticated form can be enjoyed as an object and will blend beautifully into modern spaces.   Click here for the Progetti collection
