Known for its collaborations with some of the world’s most important artists, sculptors and designers, Italian furniture manufacturer Mirabili produces high-quality pieces that not only prioritize function but are also expressive objets d’art that are demonstrative of the company’s clear creative vision.
Famed Italian entrepreneur Sergio Cammilli (1920–2001), founder of radical modernist furniture company Poltronova in 1956, came up with an idea to focus on creating a collection of “usable furniture art” designed by notable architects and artists. In 1986, Cammilli’s vision was realized when he established Mirabili. He once explained that the company was a consortium of “well-known artists and designers selected for their particular gifts and their poetic world, lending an innovative and sensitive contribution to the cultural image of the habitat as ‘Art of Living.’”
Over the past few decades, Mirabili has attracted high-profile designers to create an eclectic range of pieces. For instance, the headboard of Italian multidisciplinary artist Luigi Ontani’s Heliondimio bed comprises a colossal carved wooden sun that is finished with gold leaf and “meets the gaze” of the carved crescent moon sculpture that appears on the foot of the structure. Other distinguished pieces include the leaf-like Foglia chair by Fabrizio Corneli, the TOTEM Clair de Lune sculpture by Ettore Sottsass, Carla Tolomeo’s Black Half-Moon silk and velvet sofa and Marco Lodola’s “playing card” contemporary art wall sculptures.
In 2002, Formitalia Luxury Group acquired Mirabili (now known as Mirabili Arte d'Abitare).
Mirabili has regularly exhibited at numerous art shows and fairs throughout Italy and the rest of Europe.
