About Aldo Tura (1909 - 1963) by the Aldo Tura Archive
Aldo Tura's luxury furniture production began in 1939 and developed alongside his line of objects, following the same criteria of uniqueness, cataloguing, and progressive numbering that have made the brand instantly recognizable. Each piece of furniture was conceived as a unique work, designed and crafted using highly specialized artisanal processes, using hand-worked and dyed natural parchment, eggshell, lacquer, and polished metal inserts.
The surface is never a simple covering, but an identifying element: every grain is unique, every shade the result of complex manual processes that give the furniture a material and sculptural presence. Tura furniture is not designed as a complement, but as a domestic architecture.
Over the decades, the production has traversed and interpreted different stylistic periods: from the Art Deco influences of the early years, to the modernist and mid-century language, up to the more radical experiments of the 1970s, in a coherent yet constantly evolving path.
Hundreds of models have been individually designed and registered.
