In 1959, Giovanni, with his brothers and his wife Anna, built the Fabbrica SedieFriuli, targeting the Italian, European and international markets. The 80s saw the crucial involvement of the fourth generation of Fornasarig. This decade saw the birth of the new contract-based international market, which initially targeted mainly the restaurants and the hospitality. The corporate reorganization and the commercial strategies adopted in the 90s have made Fornasarig a successful company, managed by a family which has inherited a long tradition and has evolved it with passion, knowledge, competence and innovation.

Materials
Wood is the reference material. Wood is a traditional material and, thanks to its environmentally sustainable nature, it possesses unique sensory, visual and tactile characteristics; for this reason, it‘s still a very cherished material. Its processing techniques require great care, craftsmanship, experience and manual skills. Recently, the company has introduced the use of metal in some of the chair structures. For upholstering, Fornasarig cooperates exclusively with Kvadrat and Gabriel, using all their patterns directly.
Natural resources and environment
Fornasarig commitment to the environment involves not only a conscious use of raw materials, but also escapes from the exasperated logic of consumerism. An ethical and operative policy that enacts daily. It starts from the beech and oak wood sourced exclusively from European forests sustainably managed under strict responsible standard rules ensuring reforesting cycles, respect the ecosystem and maintain of the forest's biodiversity.
Tests
All the products are designed, engineered and tested by Catas according to EN1728 static/fatigue tests and ANSI/BIFMA X5.1 to be appropriate for severe contract use. A long term extended warranty is therefore provided.
