A LOVE OF BEAUTY RENEWED IN EVERY PIECE OF FURNITURE
A family passion
Salda is not just the story of a company, it is the story of a family: the Besana family, who made passion their raison d'être, quality a value and manufacturing experience a true heritage to be preserved.
Salda was founded at the beginning of the 19th century when Arcangelo Besana and his wife, who had long been decorators for the Austrian royal family, started a craft business producing furniture and accessories for the grand residences of the French nobility.
Salda, timeless style
In the heart of Brianza, Italy's furniture district, lies Salda, a maison with over 140 years of experience in designing and producing classic-style furniture. A family-run company for five generations, it has handed down the secret rules of the “state of the art”, testing combinations of styles and following the latest trends.
A creative boutique, active almost all over the world, with its unique creations, personalised down to the smallest detail.
Unique, inimitable collections
Salda is a cutting-edge company whose wealth lies in its ability to reinterpret and personalise tradition to create a unique atmosphere in warm, elegant homes.
Manufacturing skills are combined with the creative search for new forms, models, materials and furnishing techniques, in order to preserve the original, natural style of Salda furniture and, above all, to create new trends.
The creation of every piece of furniture begins with authentic drawings that have been kept in the factory for generations and reinterpreted over the years. A precious historical archive, with many original drawings, proves a source of inspiration for clients who desire special objects.
Craftsmanship as a choice
A love of quality and craftsmanship is part of its DNA. Awareness of the great opportunities offered by the global market has not changed the company's philosophy: today, as in the past, a love of the “handmade” and a passion for precision and research guide all its activities.
At Salda, research and quality are tools used to stand out over time, to be contemporary and to write the future.
This is why Salda continues to choose to invest in human talent rather than in the speed of machines.
This is why it continues to produce in Italy, the land of quality and creativity, which offers the possibility of personalising every piece of furniture down to the smallest detail.
This is why Salda chooses to preserve the authenticity of the noble artisan workshops of the past, which pay great attention to the details and quality of every single piece.
Authenticity, versatility and elegance
The authenticity and exclusivity of every single creation are guaranteed by special details: the SALDA fire brand, the unique code and the certificate of quality. Artisan workmanship ensures a high level of personalisation, a benefit for lovers of beauty. This is why even the most demanding clients have always found in Salda's collections a sober elegance with extraordinary versatility, adaptable to different needs and settings. Salda creations fit perfectly into the environment in which they live, as they are characterised by a pure, timeless style.
Wood: the protagonist of every creation
Wood, the protagonist of every piece of Salda furniture, is appreciated and revered for its unique qualities and is worked with natural materials and low-impact techniques.
Salda furniture is made only from fine woods, carved, upholstered and decorated by the hands of the best Italian cabinetmakers, upholsterers and inlayers.
In every product line you can find the special touch of Brianza's master furniture makers and of the best Italian designers and decorators.
A constantly expanding company
Salda's design and production centre has always been in Italy. This has not prevented the company from opening up to the world market, consolidating its presence in traditional markets and standing out in emerging ones. Today Salda can be found in more than 27 countries.
In recent years Salda has significantly increased its presence and is currently planning further development, so that Salda may be regarded as a cutting-edge, world-class company, well regarded for its attention to detail, the elegance of its forms and the history behind its brand, which is synonymous with tradition and modernity.
