A production company operating in the furnishing industry since 1959, which has gradually evolved and consolidated the success of “Made in Italy”


A strong team of highly qualified professionals, from master carpenters to specialist technicians, forms the company’s operating staff. The company was created from the founder's passion for traditional craft, Luigi Volpi, and grew in partnership with his three children over the years. Tradition and innovation combine to pave the way to new eye-catching milestones from classic to the latest generation.
Raw materials The first step towards the finished product is choosing real wood, the raw material that creates refined design projects. Volpi has always been keen on selecting raw materials. Prime-quality, first-choice materials are behind the unsurpassed aesthetic effect of our product collections. To Volpi, quality is synonymous with product reliability and duration, an ongoing quest for new original fabrics and rigorous quality checks on suppliers.

Experience that generates timeless indoor & outdoor spaces

Experience that generates timeless indoor & outdoor spaces

Our Story
Founded in 1895, Gatti started producing furniture as a family business. Over three generations, their activity has focused on interior and furniture design. In 1998, the Gatti family decided to translate the culture, tradition, and values of the family and the territory into a brand: Villevenete. Its activity is characterized by the successful production of furniture, especially sofas, beds and armchairs. The company starts a path of international development. Nowadays, exports represent 50% of the total output. The Italian company, a leader in the furniture industry, has been immediately recognized for the high expertise and quality of its products, which are strictly made in Italy. MADE BY AN artisan heart THAT EMBRACE technology Villevenete’s production has an artisanal heart, but understands the need to integrate with technological advancements that facilitate manual work, taking it to a higher level. Starting with the first wood-cutting machines and then moving on to fabric-cutting machines, we gradually improved the quality and detail of every product, eventually reaching the point of being able to produce stunning designs entirely in-house. OUR PHILOSOPHY The upholstered furniture in the Villevenete collections is built using materials and manufacturing techniques typical of the highest artisanal tradition, aided by the contributions that only the most innovative production technologies make possible. Wood, hemp, jute, feathers, cotton, all traditional materials used in a contemporary perspective, which still manage to convey that unmistakable feeling of harmony that only things made with passion can give.

The Unique Form of the Tivoli Coffee Table

The Unique Form of the Tivoli Coffee Table

Form and function must work in harmony in commercial and residential interiors. Our Tivoli Table is a testament to this balance, offering an organic shape imbued with an architectural spirit. Its core boldness lies in its aesthetic appeal and ability to transform any space.
The Tivoli Coffee Table is defined by its flowing, asymmetric form, swapping rigid lines for a soft, organic silhouette. This natural curvature makes it adaptable, seamlessly integrating into various spaces from hospitality lounges to luxury residential living rooms. For interior designers and architects, this shape introduces a dynamic visual element that breaks the monotony of traditional rectangular and circular tables. The Tivoli table is crafted from concrete and covered with a printed travertine finish. It is available in three distinct shapes and offers two design variations: as a coffee table that takes centre stage in the room or as a side table that complements the more dominant pieces. Unlike conventional coffee tables, Tivoli’s organic form enables more fluid movement around a space, making it ideal for high-traffic areas. Whether placed in a hotel lobby, a co-working lounge, or a contemporary home, its non-linear shape encourages a relaxed and intuitive flow. The lack of sharp corners enhances safety, a valuable consideration for family-friendly environments and commercial spaces. The shift toward biophilic design principles has seen organic forms gain popularity in
