De Padova is more than just a family name: it’s the trademark of a firm that has contributed to the worldwide success of Italian design.

De Padova continues to remain faithful to the philosophy from which it started out: design as a means for creating emotions, drawing inspiration from great design classics, love of good craftsmanship and research paired with innovation.
