The secret lies in the quest for perfect harmony. The Natuzzi Style Center is dedicated to continually studying and redefining design standards. By skillfully combining materials into an endless array of shapes and colors, they highlight beauty: leather and fabrics are carefully juxtaposed with raw wood and glossy lacquered surfaces, exquisite marbles contrast with hardened steel, and the warmth of natural wood is accentuated by glass and metal with shiny or satin finishes.

Leather
Natuzzi and leather, a combination that has marked the success of the Natuzzi collections from the very beginning. Its beauty, softness, color and even its scent have defined a new standard of elegance and multi-sensory pleasure. If the material is alive, the leather breathes, even. And it does not care to hide its natural marks, rather it makes a boast of them, proudly displaying them as proof of its authenticity.
A leather that is as beautiful as it is safe because it is processed in compliance with European environmental standards, among the strictest in the world. This is why it can guarantee total non-toxicity and resistance over time.
Natural
Leathers on which a light and transparent film has been applied which makes them breathable, soft and therefore more suitable for customers looking for an intense sensory experience.
These leathers are extremely soft to the touch and preserve the original characteristics of the skin; different grains, veining, and color variations are distinctive marks of their authenticity and a sign of top quality.
Protecta
Leathers on which a denser and more concealing film has been applied which makes them more resistant and, therefore, more suitable for active use of the product.
These leathers are extraordinarily strong and durable. They are covered by a light protective layer that guards against stains and wear, keeping their beauty intact.
- 65 years of experience in tanning
- Leather’s blemishes are proof of its natural beauty
- Protective layer for increased durability
- Compliance with environmental standards

Fabric
Natuzzi Italia fabrics are recognisable at first touch, for that unmistakable sensory pleasantness that makes it almost impossible to stop caressing them. The breadth of choice allows everyone to find the upholstery that best suits their home and lifestyle. Linen, wool, silk and cotton draw textures characterised by a precious naturalness. Viscoses, velvets and microfibers provide unexpected and surprising tactile pleasures, while at the same time guaranteeing great resistance to washing and wear.
A world in which the quality of natural fabrics coexists with the innovation of technical fibers and performance fabrics whose exclusive technology covers each fibre with an invisible layer, which prevents dirt from penetrating the fabric and allows stains to be easily removed. Ecological and safe fabrics, certified OEKO- TEX® Standard 100, an international certificate that guarantees the total sustainability of fibers and textiles.
Performance Fabrics
Thanks to an exclusive technology, each fiber is covered with an invisible molecular layer which prevents dirt from penetrating the fabric and allows you to remove stains using just water – or at most a neutral detergent. And being a permanent treatment, it won’t rub off with use or in the wash.
Performance fabrics are water and stain resistant, washable with just water, they have great resistance and durability, they are protected from mites and bacterias, no need of PFCs (Perfluorocarbons) and they are pet hair resistant.
Premium Fabrics
High-quality fibers produced in Italy of the best and exclusive weaves for a consumer who loves design and great quality. They require professional washing.
Cuoio
Cuoietto
Natural grain item that has undergone a special treatment that gives it a very stiff hand hence the name “cuoietto.” The coat — of fine European origin — has received a pigmented finish that provides good stain resistance.
The special tanning treatment,
the portion of the coat used (only the shoulder is suitable for such use) together with the thickness (mm 1.8 – 2.00) ensure great resistance to wear and tear.
Cuoio Pieno Fiore (Vegetable leather)
Full-grain, linear-grain, barrel-dyed item. The most noticeable feature of this highly prized upholstery is its very stiff touch due to a tanning process that — is completely vegetable tanned.
The touch is also emphasized by the important thickness of 2.8 – 3.00 mm while the aniline finish characterized by a delicate pull-up effect ensures great breathability and thus great comfort.
Marble & Stone
Marbles used for Natuzzi furnishings reflect the natural and ancient beauty of precious and elegant materials. Each vein and imperfection tells about this charm. Quality, design and high aesthetic value meet in our products, in order to give life to real masterpieces. Every grain drawn by time, every imperfection distilled by Nature, every smooth or rough materiality of our stones and marbles have been produced by the precious, priceless work of time.
Rich materials, dense in texture, or luxurious and sophisticated, or pure white veined with gray, all of our marbles perfectly encapsulate our philosophy and commitment to making objects that will last. In the hands of our designers, these stones become unique, recognizable pieces that speak of a quality beyond expectation.
As natural materials it should be noted that they may have distinguishing features, like veining, slight superficial irregularities, small holes, colouring and inclusions. These characteristics make them unique and do not affect their quality or their structural strength. Inherent variations in natural stone and marble color, texture and veining, as well as variance resulting from the hand finishing process, are to be expected and celebrated. No two items will be exactly alike. As a natural and porous material, can be nicked, stained or scratched; avoid placing sharp or heavy objects on surface.
Innovative
Design and innovative mineral surfaces are a real innovation that is revolutionizing the world of architecture and interior design. New material that are distinguished by its extraordinary technical, ecological and resistance qualities.
Wood
The superior beauty of our wood comes from fine workmanship and rigorous controls throughout the production chain. Quality standards are achieved precisely by expert furniture craftsmanship, which is best expressed in the Natuzzi Italia collections. The wide range of exquisitely detailed finishes extends to more modern furniture styles as well. The timeless elegance of natural wood meets the sophistication of lacquered wood surfaces. Tables, chairs, sideboards and bookcases are not only versatile, but emanate warmth and are delightfully tactile. Every home opens up to a material whose beauty will never fade.
Wood is a natural raw material. It therefore presents differences in color and texture. In the course of time, color variations may occur, more or less noticeable, in some cases different depending on the texture of the surface or its location. To delay this natural process, we recommend avoiding exposing complements and furniture to direct sunlight.
Solid Wood
It’s that portion of wood that is extracted from the heartwood, the innermost part of a log. It follows that each type of solid wood will have its own characteristics depending on the type of plant from which it was obtained. Before it can be used and processed, solid wood needs a long period of seasoning to stabilize its products. This process can take place naturally or through artificial drying processes. Solid wood, for these reasons, is a type of wood that we can define as completely natural, and therefore it must be expected that over time it can undergo more or less slight alterations in color and shape.
Veneer
It can be defined as the operation of coating a wooden panel with a noble wood veneer. This type of processing has been carried out for centuries and originally, it was carried out with different types of wood. A piece of furniture veneered is a furniture of great value, characterized by excellent aesthetic performance and functional performance. Depending on the surface (or panel) to be veneered, the craftsman can choose to use a single veneer or several sheets placed side by side, depending on the specific project. It can therefore highlight particular finishes or flamings. The treatment represents the perfect fusion between performance and visual impact, and guarantees excellent flexibility to the products made.
Medium-density fibreboard (MDF)
An engineered wood-based product composed of wood fibres or fascicles of wood fibre submitted to processing by a thermomechanical defibrator under high temperature and pressure. The fibres are held together with hardening synthetic resin.
Laquered
A finish is not just the outward appearance of an object, but represents its identity, its essence, the way it speaks and relates to the world. An alchemic act of creation made of research and intuition where material, workmanship and pigmentation mould each other in a song of pure harmony. Natuzzi offers different lacquer finishes to chromatically connote the solid surfaces of its collection: the wide range of colors or textures available suits any type of product or style.
The company uses not only a brushed lacquer with a glossy effect, but also one with a matt appearance: both results serve to maximise the aesthetic appearance of the product, highlighting or emphasising its overall harmony. A lacquered finish is a type of coating that uses lacquer: an opaque colored substance, based on polyester and/or polyurethane, which hides the wood grain under a uniform tone or gives an extra touch to worked metals.
Glass & Mirror
It can be delicate, or it can be solid. It can show itself, it can let light through, it can shine magically. It can reflect and refract, it can be colored in the most amazing shades. Glass is infinitely versatile and has accompanied our lives since time immemorial. It is not we who admire it, it is he who observes us from its nearly 5,000 years of history. In the minds and hands of our designers it can take infinite forms and have endless functions. It can be yet another original idea for any piece of furniture and unusual geometric shape. With the only goal of becoming a visible protagonist of each of our creations. Even when it is invisible.
Metal
Metal is an extremely durable and versatile material that can enhance the aesthetic side of products and embellish their design. Its mechanical resistance, combined with its lightness, make it a material suitable for the most diverse uses. Metal allows for a truly unique material sensation: multifaceted, polymorphic, it allows the observer to notice ever different worlds thanks to plays and refractions of light. Just as the most elegant accessories complement an outfit to perfection, metal finishes highlight a room, making it the centre of perspective. Solid, yet ethereal, it can give any home or design product an unequivocal value, just as in the case of Natuzzi furniture complements.
Metal working processes:
Powder coating
Powder coating is a process of coating metal surfaces with an organic film, carried out for decorative purposes and/or protection against corrosion and aggressive agents. Workpieces are coated with paint powder based on synthetic resins, which adheres by electrostatic effect. Then passed through an oven with high temperatures, the paint first melts and then polymerizes. Powder coating is carried out in equipped plants.
Galvanization
This is a process by which an artifact of other metal material is coated with a thin layer of metal to protect it from corrosion and/ or aging. It is popular in modern furniture. Hot Galvanization: the artifact is completely immersed in a galvanic bath (molten metal) and it is covered with a protective film. Cold Galvanization: the artifact is immersed in an Electrolytic Solution to make the protection adhere to the artifact itself through Electrolysis.
