History

The quality and uniqueness of the Matteo Gennari product is characterised by the careful selection of the finest materials and the multi-faceted process of planning, design and craftsmanship that unfolds with loving attention to detail, each and every step of the way. Passion and skill guide the hands of our artisan craftspeople, each move decisive and precise. With parents in the antique art and carpentry fields, Matteo Gennari was born into a world of craftsmanship and tradition, elements which form the basis of a company devoted to meeting custom design needs. From this point onwards, Matteo Gennari began a major evolutionary process for the company, cumulating in the creation of a unique structure capable of delivering a complete service package – planning, production and installation, as well as internally managed carpentry, stonemasonry, lacquer work and upholstery – under the same roof.

MATTEO GENNARI

Matteo Gennari founded “casa19 91” in 1991, and that is when he officially entered the world of interior design and direct production. Soon after that, the first showrooms opened up throughout the centre of Parma. They were not just points of sale but also meet and exchange places, to grow together and develop new projects in an atmosphere of creativity and experimentation.
