Over 200 year old, Annibale Colombo was founded in Brianza during that period when a flourishing craftsman activity was being developed throughout the territory. The nobily from the nearby Milan, in love with the refined tastes of XVIII century France, commissioned reproductions of the furniture made by the great cabinet-makers in the recent bygone years, thus giving great impetus to the already existing, though not yet refined, local traditions. Since then, and throughout its long history, the Firm has been able to tap and maintain a priceless wealth of knowledge which is mainly reflected in its ability to understand and handle materials, among whic wood is the most important.
