From April 2014, Visionnaire entered in the porftolio of Ergon Capital Partners III, the investment fund of the Belgian baron Albert Frère. IPE (Imbottiture Prodoti Espansi – expanded padded products) was founded by brothers, Pompeo and Vittorio Cavalli in 1959 in Zola Predosa, a few miles from Bologna, Italy. The Cavalli brothers broke ground with their unprecedented use of the soft yet extremely durable chemical, polyurethane, which at the time, was used solely by automotive company, Lancia, for vehicle seat padding. IPE was the first design company to adopt this method that revolutionized the construction system of their furniture creations. Traditional methods included springs, horsehair, and feathers among other materials. In 1959 the holding company launched their first sofas: Kosmo and Mercury. It is since its first edition in 1961 that the company participates at the Fiera Internazionale del Mobile in Milan. In the ‘70s, Vittorio Cavalli’s son, Luigi, joined the company who set his sights on developing new collections and international Expansion. In the mid-1990s, Luigi’s children Leopold and Eleonore joined the company: Leopold as CEO of the Group and Eleonore, Art Director and Head of Communications. The brothers along their father, launched Visionnaire in 2004 with the aim of offering their customers a new luxury interior decor concept that emphasizes an IDEA closer to fashion and lifestyle. Mission and philosophy Throughout the last decade, this illustrious, world-class luxury Italian furniture monobrand has become known for its unique designs and aristocratic flair. Visionnaire takes an alternative approach to the IDEA of interior design, offering a “total concept” solution - residential, business, contract and yachts alike – creating customized interior atmospheres to fit a customer’s personal needs, style and taste. “Luxury, style and quality are core values within the Visionnaire brand philosophy,” says Eleonore Cavalli, Visionnaire’s Creative Director and Communications. “Our made-in- Italy brand has grown beyond simple furnishings providing bespoke furnishing solutions for consumer projects.” In addition to its indoor and outdoor furniture and lifestyle offerings, Visionnaire offers tailor-made projects, crafted according to consumers specific needs, making it the ideal partner in projects for private Dwellings as well as luxury contract proposals. Visionnaire’s home philosophy speaks to a new way to regard furnishing- not strictly linked to the product, but linked to a way of living and linked to how the furniture will be used within its owner’s lifestyle. This vision has been the driving force in increased global demand for Visionnaire and the company’s worldwide Expansion. Uniqueness, modern style and a vocation for Made in Italy are the founding values of the Visionnaire brand. Visionnaire currently produces more than 1850 articles, thanks to the collaboration of a team of Italian and worldrenowned visionary designers.
