The history of Italian design is filled with brilliant insights, often born from ideas that are as simple as they are effective. Fantin fits seamlessly into this narrative, embodying for over fifty years a clear guiding principle: to create essential and durable furniture in metal. This pure and consistent vision has enabled the company to build a strong and recognizable identity, where every product reflects a rigorous functionality, free of excess, yet full of meaning and beauty.

Over the decades, Fantin's production has expanded with collections that reflect continuous technical and aesthetic experimentation. The clean lines of its volumes are complemented by a palette of 35 bold colors, achieved through non-toxic powder coating. This chromatic variety is not just a signature trait, but a deliberate design choice that makes each piece suitable for a wide range of settings—residential, professional, and commercial. The formal simplicity, combined with the expressive depth of color, allows Fantin's furniture to both blend in and stand out at the same time.

Among the collections, Frame stands out — launched in 2018 and designed by Salvatore Indriolo. This modular and ever-evolving program is based on three fundamental design principles: square tube frames that define the structure, vertical elements flush with the frame, and horizontal surfaces resting on top, keeping the frame always visible. This structural clarity becomes the aesthetic hallmark of the collection — a tribute to metal and its distinctive visual and functional language.

Hug, designed by Giulio Iacchetti, explores the theme of joints. Here, the embrace between the legs and the horizontal frame — from which the collection takes its name — is not just a technical solution, but a meaningful stylistic choice. The slightly inclined legs, made of round tubing, nest into the curved edges of the frame in a gesture that is both poetic and structurally efficient. Hug demonstrates how even the most hidden details can become defining features of design.

Another key milestone in the recent evolution of the brand is the Wave desk, designed by ruga.perissinotto. With this piece, Fantin inaugurates a new collection in curved metal, where folded sheet metal — long present in the company’s systems — finally takes center stage. Wave is an exercise in balance between technical precision and visual lightness, a celebration of folding as a fundamental gesture from which emerges a soft, modular language capable of opening new expressive pathways.
