Natuzzi Italy vs Natuzzi Editions

Lately I’ve been getting a lot of calls about weather Natuzzi is still made in Italy.

The answer, yes and no. It depends on weather you are talking about Natuzzi Italy or Natuzzi Editions.  Natuzzi Italy is the original “Mother” company it always has been made in Italy and still is. Natuzzi Italy has it’s own factory and all of the materials are also made in Italy (with the exception of the leather). More recently Natuzzi branched out to Natuzzi Editions and Italsofa. Natuzzi Editions Brand is the equivalent of Italian furniture for American living and is made in China or Brazil. ItalSofa is also made in China or Brazil and is marketed for the younger generation with funky shapes and colors.

Hope this helps clarify…
