Falegnami contemporanei
A new generation of entrepreneurs

Entrepreneurs, architects, and students from IUAV University come together for the first time to discuss design, sustainability, and communication as part of the Falegnami Contemporanei project.

A dialogue full of insights that focused on the value of craftsmanship and the new challenges for the future.

The initiative, promoted by Confartigianato Imprese Marca Trevigiana, aimed to train a new generation of entrepreneurs in the wood-furniture sector, a field that today includes 1,535 artisan companies and 4,251 employees just in the Treviso province, the most active in Veneto.

The key word for the future is Contamination.

Falegnami contemporanei seeks to create a collaborative and immersive environment where the skills of artisans, architects, and designers merge to create products designed with a circular approach, considering their reuse, regeneration, and the origins of the materials used.

This journey began in February and concluded on November 29 at the Lepido Rocco school in Lancenigo, where a new concept of “custom-made” was launched. An idea that highlights the value of high-quality craftsmanship, able to combine local roots with an international vision, becoming an ambassador of Made in Italy worldwide.

«Globalization is based on economies of scale and standardized products,” said Bruno Mazzariol, president of the wood-furniture group of Confartigianato Imprese Marca Trevigiana. “But artisans have a clear path: focusing on customization, design, beauty, and bespoke solutions».

This approach is particularly close to our hearts, as it fully reflects our philosophy, which we have consistently and proudly pursued for over 20 years. Here at Casapercasa, the dialogue between artisans and designers is not an exception but the beating heart of our work. Our widespread workshop is where these figures meet daily, experiment, and bring to life bespoke solutions that combine aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability.

We firmly believe that the meeting between design and craftsmanship is the key to a future where custom-made becomes the true alternative to standardization.
