Sawaya & Moroni emerges on the international design scene in 1984 relatively quickly combining professional talent of architect and designer William Sawaya with entrepreneurship Paolo Moroni. The company is now set as a manufacturer of high quality design furniture.
Both partners are from areas unrelated to the furniture, so the lack of family’s tradition to be respected and passed, typical of this area, becomes a positive element, free from all conceptual and productive restrictions. Thanks to this freedom borns a collection of limited editions signed by the great protagonists of contemporary architecture, design and art, together with a multitude of furniture, silver and artifacts that have found place in private collections and design museums around the world .
