Offering an eclectic array of styles ranging from Art Deco and Art Nouveau to modern and postmodern, interior design firm and furniture manufacturer Tura is anything but staid. The Italian company’s creative and innovative pieces, such as chairs, side tables, floor lamps and cabinets, are not only artistic but functional in design and suitable for any decor.
Italian designer Aldo Tura established the company in Lombardy in 1939. Unlike many furniture manufacturers of the time who followed the then-growing trend of mass-produced products, Tura believed that high quality came from slow, meticulous attention to detail achieved by hand. Although it was a laborious process, he preferred intricate and complex designs that others could not replicate. This resulted in a limited number of pieces, which is why vintage Tura furniture is rare and prized by collectors.
Today, the Tura company continues to design and manufacture captivating luxury furniture. Tura’s mid-century modern designs are both elegant and unique, using parchment paper, exotic woods, glass and goatskin. For instance, the semi-circular armchair and pouf set by designer Piero Pinto has a touch of geometric glamor with Alcantara upholstery and a matte parchment finish. Sakura Adachi’s Momiji chaise longue has a sophisticated contemporary design with clean lines. Tura’s striking Oyster table lamp, made with petrol-colored parchment, high-gloss finish and polished nickel embellishments, provides a refined ambiance.
The Brooklyn Museum in New York has Tura pieces in its collections which were shown in the 1950 to 1953 traveling exhibition, “Italy at Work: Her Renaissance in Design Today.” Tura’s furniture continues to be trendy among architects, interior designers and collectors of modern pieces.
