Parentesi quadra is a recently established company that started its activity in 1998, combining historical research with new ideas.
The first proposal was (joining tradition and technical research of fashionable fabrics for furniture and present design) a range of bedspread cusions and carpets in ecological fur, with a new interpretation of 1970’s accessories of furniture very “British style”
Many trendy shops have appreciated this production, which has obtained a great selling success and has been published on many specialized magazines.
It has been used for several furniture catalogues and television spots. “Swinging London” is still produced, renewed in colors and typologies, and is part of the “history” of the company.
During this process of reinterpretation and revival, it is automatically born the collection “anni 70”, formed by pony-look leather carpets with zebra or tiger printing, natural spots or bright plain colors, non-ethnic, ironical and metropolitan and the “Softy Fur” collection, plaid, blankets, cushions in trendy colors.
In this philosophy of research of “forgotten things” the “Casentino” collection is an example: plaids and cushions an old and particular wool fabric, re-discovered and used in a new way.
Absolutely new the “Gallery” collection, a series of carpets designed by famous artists combining industrial know traditional craftsmanship, born to be used in modern houses matching both antique and contemporary design.
The last “creature” is “Furniture”, single pieces of furniture, stools, little poufs, in the Parentesi Quadra’s style.
