DBF
Cantù furniture

DBF has always understood the most hidden secrets of the art of building, carving, polishing, lacquering and padding – secrets handed down from generation to generation.
The choice of wood and artisan techniques are the same as those used centuries ago, as well as the meticulous attention placed on the selection of materials, fabrics and leather. DBF, a company founded by Mosè Florian and Claudio Dal Bello in 1979, has its roots in the tradition of Cantù’s art furniture, where in principle no furniture can be created without two irreplaceable tools: man’s hands and heart.

A bridge between the past and the present allows us to carry out an in-depth stylistic research aimed at creating prestigious classic furniture solutions and ensuring maximum quality.
The qualitative excellence and a deep knowledge of wood, allow us to interpret the best styles of the past today, giving them a new vision without ever forgetting the great tradition and culture of living
