In the Mood to Create

Design is often presented in many different forms, and bridges the connection between people and space. Not only does design often fulfil your life expectations, but it adds much needed colour and vibrance to originally quiet atmospheres. NUOVO facilitates this by collecting exquisite masterpieces that subvert imagination and demonstrate the wisdom of its creators from around the world. Innovative brands, from Frigerio in Italy, Time & Style with footprints around Japan, the Netherlands and Italy, to designer Cristina Celestino’s dynamic style of combining rigidity with softness in her design, all embody their own niche that excite every tastemaker’s senses. Also don't miss our CEO Pak Man Lee’s sharing of NUOVO’s upcoming and future developments.

Creative Perspectives Beyond Imagination

“We design furnishings and objects for people. We create freely multifaceted, sensitive objects that settle into the memory of things and homes.”

Cristina Celestino, Architect and Designer

Reflecting the Cultural Value of Italian Craftsmanship

The history of Frigerio is an Italian tale, where passion, perseverance and enthusiasm have always been the peculiar hallmarks. Born as a small workshop specialized in upholstery production, Frigerio was founded in 1938 by Federico Frigerio in Mariano Comense, in the heart of Brianza, a unique district in the world for expertise and technical abilities. With the same allegiance of the founder, from generation to generation, the manufacturing origins of Frigerio develop when in the 60’s, Federico’s sons, Gianfranco and Angelo, start collaborating, in a renewed sign of continuity, by carrying on the family’s activity into a new industrial dimension. The Frigerio family’s passion together with a strong bond to the territory are, even today, the fundamental principles of an industry in continuous development. They collaborate with architects and designers from different backgrounds, including internationally renowned Umberto Asnago , Federica Biasi and Christophe Pillet. To this day, they are determined to keep tradition and innovation hand in hand, through a high-tech and fully automated factory, further enhancing the cultural value of Italian craftsmen, highlighting high-quality tailoring workmanship and decorative style.
