Over the years, the group has successfully leveraged its versatility and experience to develop new projects for the contract market. Bespoke design, a modular approach to component parts and collaboration with various designers are the guidelines that the group follows to create its designer collections. That is why over 20% of the group's products are custom made to meet the customer's demands.

In line with its green policy and to reduce its environmental impact, the group has chosen to use environmentally compatible materials like recycled wood that doesn't involve felling trees, non-toxic panels with near-zero formaldehyde emissions that are rated E1 according to European standard EN 13986 and packaging systems that limit the use of oil-derived materials as much as possible. All the material used in the production process (rags, sandpaper, waste, packaging, etc.) is disposed of through a partner who specializes in recycling. We ensure the health and safety of workers and consumers alike are protected by employing processes that create little pollution and are low on toxins. They have chosen to adopt a water-based matt lacquering system as a strategic asset: Battistella was the first Italian company to believe in this finish, as far back as 2005. A choice that reflects their desire to promote environmental sustainability and our commitment to creating a product that is safe for people.

Despite advances in technology, attention to detail – a trait typically associated with the artisan tradition – has remained one of the group's key qualities to this day: expert operators still perform furniture painting and assembly by hand. The pursuit of quality in every aspect and attention to detail in the item's design and manufacture translate into the use of carefully selected materials and components – with top-brand hardware, mechanical parts given rust-inhibiting finishes, toughened glass and non-scratch edges – revealing the essence of the company know-how.
