Nube Italia: The Story of Italian Upholstered Furniture Rooted in Tradition and Evolved Through Generations
Nube was founded in 1958 in the hard-working Brianza region. Counting the years is a source of pride for a company that has focused on know-how right from its origins. And for the second (and today also the third) generation of the Nicoli family, there’s a tacit approach to the passing of time: to progress while preserving the merits of tried-and-tested experience.
Siblings Simona and Corrado, who took over from their father, Antonio, the founder of Nube, have instilled in the design what had already become a respected industrial manufacturing story. In 2020, Stefano, the grandson, entered the company, marking a further step in the brand's evolution. Reinforcing the company’s close ties with the territory, synonymous with Made in Italy quality, they have moved further forward the milestones which Nube had already achieved since the 1970s, marked by an innate organisational and entrepreneurial capacity, progressively expanding towards the USA, Europe and Far East markets.
All the goals achieved over the decades with upholstered furniture collections are a testament to a production that is precise in its manufacturing process and attentive to interpreting tastes in advance, thanks also to collaborations with Carlo Colombo, Marco Corti, Ferdinando Buzzi, and others who have left their mark.
It’s a precious heritage that, today, with the contribution of architect Fabio Fantolino in his capacity as Art Director, opens up to the contemporary and is renewed by enhancing the past with the dynamism that the present requires.
Innovating with research and inventiveness in tracking new trends means incorporating new developments into the tradition of a family company, always ready to take on the challenges of the moment.
Values
Passion in Nube is passed on through the generations, along with the business heritage that embodies a uniqueness conceived to enter the homes of everyone, and is sustained by constant attention to wellbeing and the pursuit of perfection. These aspects are an intrinsic part of the work that everything is carried out, and they are reflected in the final product. The idea is that furniture should convey, in its surroundings and context, the merits of its origins, thereby being truly in natural harmony with those who choose it.
Know-how
Interpreting contemporaneity means understanding the nuances of different lifestyles. In Nube, the dialogue between forms, materials, surfaces and colours is always oriented towards an idea of beauty that aims for design harmony in which precise proportions are combined with comfort. The historic values of the brand, combined with the elegance and culture of design, are reflected in the creation of balanced lines, in furniture where detail becomes the distinguishing feature, the element that defines its personality. New materials and finishes enhance the unique workmanship, built on the excellence of the Brianza manufacturing tradition, underscoring the ties with a craftsmanship supported by innovative production methods.
