‘NATUZZI’ Italia Luxury Furniture opens exclusive flagship store in Colombo

July, 28, 2015

Natuzzi, the Italian luxury furniture manufacturer, joined hands with Softlogic Retail (Pvt) Ltd, a fully owned subsidiary of Softlogic Holdings PLC and appointed Exclusive Authorised Distributor for Natuzzi in Sri Lanka, to launch its first flagship showroom in Sri Lanka. Conveniently located at No. 100, Galle Road, Colombo 4, the four storey store showcases a stylish selection of exclusive home furniture by Natuzzi. The showroom has been designed to offer a unique brand experience.

Since its beginning in 1959, Natuzzi, the leading and most well-known furniture brand globally among luxury consumers - according to research by Ipsos Lagardère in 2013 – has symbolised innovation and style, focusing its attention on achieving the best stylistic solutions, as well as comfort and harmony. A recognisable and unmistakable stylistic element found throughout the history of the company and in its products: the “Harmony Maker” concept, present in a wide range of products, is mindful of today’s increasingly diversified homemaking requirements. It puts the consumer’s need for spatial and environmental harmony at the centre of each product.

The Re-Vive armchair is the world’s first and only recliner capable of adapting to the body and reacting intuitively and fluidly to even the most imperceptible movements, guaranteeing unprecedented comfort.

Sofas, armchairs, beds, dining room tables and furniture accessories combine to create complete looks allied with sensible solutions, helping us to live better but also meeting the standards of even the most refined tastes. Design and function are combined to obtain harmony. The models are light and elegant, comfortable and beautiful. A visually pleasant quality also found in the variety of intentionally neutral colours of the whole collection. The colour combinations are chosen to induce relaxation, while small lively touches emerge from the accents, achieved by bright colour details. Leather coverings continue to be synonymous with Natuzzi quality and craftsmanship, having been standard bearers for the company’s manufacturing quality for over 50 years.

The collection of Natuzzi furniture showcased in the Colombo store contains a range of luxury products for living room and day and night zones, including the new Re-Vive Armchair and the exclusive Natuzzi Italia range, with iconic products such as the Tempo and Dorian sofas, and the Piuma bed.

Designed by Italian architects Manzoni and Tapinassi, the Tempo sofa is marked by a sophisticated and timeless design. Tempo's versatility makes it perfect for any environment and the sofa is designed to fit in with the Tempo tables for an exceptional total look. By the same architects, the generously proportioned Dorian sofa is both aesthetically impressive and extremely comfortable. The spacious seats have been ergonomically designed with Memory Foam padding and goose feathers. With the Piuma bed designed by Claudio Bellini, you experience extreme softness that you can sense at first glance. Elegant and luxurious detail offering an absolute comfort.
