Cartesio Desk by Ivano Colombo

In accordance with a centuries-old legacy of European cabinetmaking, each piece of Annibale Colombo furniture is made in Italy using only the highest quality wood and finest fabrics. The brand’s dining tables, armchairs and sideboards — designed by Giovanna Azzarello, Luciano Colombo, Giuseppe Manzoni and others — showcase unique forms and draw on the best of clean-lined mid-century modern furniture.

Annibale Colombo traces its history back more than 200 years to 1812, when furniture maker Filippo Colombo opened a workshop in Brianza at the base of the Italian Alps. Colombo created furniture for the Milanese middle class using traditional cabinetmaking techniques.

The company changed its name in 1990 — a new era for the brand. Annibale Colombo moved to a much larger headquarters in Novedrate, Italy, designed by Afra and Tobia Scarpa. Though production at the new facility involved industrial processes and innovative technology, little changed about how the company’s furniture is made. Annibale Colombo continues to use more than 60 types of wood (including rosewood, ash, walnut and maple), and its artisans employ traditional carving and inlay techniques. The resulting furnishings appeal to modern sensibilities while maintaining the timeless elegance and impeccable quality long associated with the company’s products.

Utilizing ethically sourced wood and natural dyes and treatments, Annibale Colombo has created custom furniture for many high-profile luxury projects worldwide. The company's pieces are in the Piccolo Teatro Grassi in Milan, the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni in Bellagio, the Kulm Hotel in Saint Moritz and Hotel Ares Eiffel in Paris. Additionally, Annibale Colombo regularly takes part in the Salone del Mobile.Milano.
