Tresca Canopy Bed by Odo Fioravanti, Luca Cancelli

Four-poster beds from the Lispi forge: the culture of ironworking, since 1920. The value of design, today. LISPI FORGE The Lispi family has been involved in the art of forging iron since 1920, with four generations of committed to the craft: this storied and exceptional knowledge has, over time, found its specialism in the production of wrought iron four-poster beds. Now, the value of design is added to these unique pieces of furniture, with an emphasis on concept and the needs of contemporary living. WHERE Since its establishment, the forge has been in Città della Pieve, in Umbria: a place with Etruscan-Roman roots and a supreme tradition in ironworking. LISPI AND DESIGN In 2021 Lispi brought in a young designer as artistic director, Mario Scairato, and with him – and the other involved designers – embarked on a process of evolution. A choice dictated by the desire to apply the experience and high level of craftsmanship of the forge to ranges of beds intended for contemporary living. A journey of growth in the name of research and fine workmanship, commitment, and quality. Mario Scairato is the architect of the revamped Lispi forge. He is responsible for the catalogue, choosing the designers to be entrusted with the projects and marketing, assisted by a team of specialised associates. The Lispi brand identity is curated and designed by Federica Marziale Iadevaia (This is Isola).
