Baxter
Symbol of Italian excellence, Baxter was born in 1990 in the heart of the Brianza furniture-manufacturing district. The family-run company developed its potential in Lurago d'Erba, where the ancient artisan tradition meets the highly specialized local crafts. The Brand maintained a focus on the quality of the materials used, searching for absolute excellence in order to propose design products with a strong emotional impact for aesthetics, shape and function. The absolute protagonist of Baxter's production is saddle leather, symbol of high quality leather, coming from the historic tannery of Toscana and Veneto.Read more

Designed by

Antonino Sciortino

Antonino Sciortino
Antonino Sciortino (1962-), sculptor and designer, is known for his iron works made with thin "cooked iron" wires that make the material more easily malleable with ever new expressive purposes. Sciortino uses iron to create small stylized metal figurines, or he juxtaposes many filaments to form bases and backs of seats to which the chiaroscuro effects between light and shadow give a fascinating vitality, or again he gives life to minimalist and enigmatic creations in which the thread of cooked iron is arranged according to an apparently random logic. Born in Palermo, Sciortino is self-taught: he learned to work the material at an early age alongside his brother, a blacksmith by profession, and began his business with the opening of a creative laboratory in Milan only after forty years. In the midst of him he instead dedicated himself to his other great passion, dance, working as a choreographer and dancer in numerous television broadcasts. In addition to the limited edition one-of-a-kind pieces churned out by his atelier, Sciortino has also started mass productions that have entered the catalogs of some major Italian and international furniture brands, first of all Baxter. His creations also appear in the catalogs of brands such as Serax, La Cividina and Roda. Read more
