About Pianca
MORE ABOUT PIANCA
Pianca is a major, well-known Italian industrial brand that produces furniture systems and accessories distinguished by an elegant, minimal and understated style. Each of our creations - including wardrobes, living and bedroom collections, bookshelves, tables, sofas, chairs and accessories – is designed to be customised in terms of shape, dimensions and finishes.
Our extensive range of furniture is a perfect blend of Italian creativity and beauty, paired with the freedom to tailor your home to suit your needs and requirements.
Origins
The Pianca family is specialised in the art of cabinet-making and can count on a tradition 14 generations long. In fact, history tells us that around 1500 a family called “da Pianca” used to manage a well-known carpenter’s shop with a mill driven by a small stream. The art of cabinet-making was passed down from father to son and many prized artefacts in churches and villas of the Treviso province bear witness to this. In the mid-50s, Enrico Pianca transformed his business from a cabinet maker’s workshop to a full-blown factory, creating the basis for future development. Although he invested in the most rational productive systems, he didn’t want to give up the expertise and skills gained over time and decided to dedicate a section of the factory to handcrafted creations, where Giovanni Battista Pianca, Enrico’s cousin, lead a team of young cabinet makers. Enrico then decided to project the knowledge of his trusted workers and artisans into the futuristic world of design (it wasn’t even known by that name yet!) and started to present his products at every Salone del Mobile in Milan from the very first edition in 1961.
In the 80s, Aldo - Enrico Pianca’s son – took the helm of the company. With him, production grew and developed into a complete furnishing system while distribution expanded to international markets, all in the name of a modern, functional and elegant Italian style. In the 90s, Pianca introduced a flexible and sustainable “just in time” production model to deliver highly customisable furnishing systems tailored to suit any taste or requirement.
Made In Italy
The fact that we are Italian is a universally recognised guarantee of quality, and we see it as a hallmark to be safeguarded. To guarantee the best possible quality, Pianca chooses Italian suppliers and performs each step of the production process inside its production plant. From our region we export the elegance and luxury of Italian-made products across the globe.
Design
Pianca’s design is constantly and consistently renewing itself to satisfy the needs of modern lifestyles and ever-changing contemporary tastes while preserving the minimalism, understatement and elegance that have become its hallmark and are typical values of all its products.
Savoire Faire
First and foremost, our company is made of people. Their immense value is our greatest asset, with their wealth of knowledge and skills that only time and experience can bring. Marta’s taste lies behind the choice of wood species, Luca’s expertise guarantees the perfection of lacquers, Giacomo’s careful eye ensures rigorous quality control. That’s the way it’s always been here at Pianca. We produce design, but we still use our hands, and we still consider ourselves craftsmen, and women.
Sustainability
Pianca uses eco-friendly wood sourced from certified forests with controlled harvesting to limit deforestation. Our panels are free from toxic adhesives. We were the first to use water- based gloss lacquers to protect the health of our employees and reduce pollution in the home. Off-cuts are burnt in special furnaces to produce energy, solar panels produce about 1 Megawatt of electric power and our packaging systems are 100% automatic and recyclable so that even Amazon, the American e-commerce company, visited Pianca in 2014 to uncover the secret of its cutting-edge packaging system.
Customer Care
We entrust our products to a selected network of trained retailers who offer the highest guarantees of quality, assistance and courtesy, from planning to delivery and final assembly. We keep in touch with them on a daily basis, to satisfy their needs and create customised furniture for end customers, guaranteeing homes furnished with design products that reflect the tastes and requirements of their householders.
