Alivar: Sartorial Beauty

Alivar was founded in Tuscany in 1984. Committed to evolving with the latest trends in design and architecture, this brand creates luxury furniture that fit perfectly every contemporary space. An Alivar item is the result of an industrial process, made exclusive by the skilled hands of Tuscan artisans.

Blending cutting-edge technology with local craftsmanship, Alivar always succeeds in creating pieces that last over time. The refined and eternal beauty featuring this brand’s furniture encapsulates the history of a family, the wealth of a sartorial tradition, as well as the essence of a splendid territory. Discover more about Alivar and its ability to infuse elegance and balance in all it creates.

Your luxury unfolds seamlessly and gradually over time. How do you define balance and moderation in interior design?

Luxury signifies enduring quality that brings a sense of satisfaction and well-being with every use. For this reason, it cannot be forcibly ‘extravagant’ or ‘ostentatious’, as that would soon become tiresome. Balance and harmony are essential for cultivating an environment that fosters tranquility and peace. This does not imply creating uninteresting objects, on the contrary! DURANTE, our latest collection of modular upholstered furniture, is a sofa with distinct features and innovative functions, thanks to its swivel end element that rotates 360°.

For Alivar, materials are a true reflection of quality. Which materials do you favor, and how do they embody the unique resources of your region, Tuscany?

We prioritize natural materials like wood, stone, leather, and textiles—premium materials that come to life and evoke emotions with a simple touch. All our products are crafted in Tuscany, a region renowned for its exceptional tanneries, quarries, and textile workshops. The value of our genius loci has been celebrated and admired globally since ancient times.

Alivar is a company that honors tradition while always looking toward the future. Which of your core values do you hope to pass on to the next generation?

Our goal is to pass on the value of a high-quality object, conceived, designed, and crafted by skilled artisans with a lifetime of experience in creating exceptional furniture, now exported worldwide. We firmly believe that quality is synonymous with durability, which in turn leads to sustainability gains for the planet. An Alivar piece lasts more than a lifetime because it is meticulously made. In our view, this embodies the true essence of ‘Made in Italy’ — representing originality, value, exquisite craftsmanship, and beauty.
