Annahita Kamali and Florian Böhm are the founders of Munich-based creative studio AKFB, known for their thoughtful approach to brand narratives. Their work spans design, publishing and visual communication, with collaborations including Adidas, Audi, Magis and Mattiazzi. Alongside their studio practice, they are also artists, writers and editors, and have led the creative direction of Disegno journal since 2016.

Udine-based Mattiazzi stands apart from its competitors. While many furniture manufacturers rely on third party factories, Mattiazzi operates its own machines using its own skilled craftsmen. The company has been working in this honest way since 1978, when it was founded by brothers Nevio and Fabiano Mattiazzi. Along the way the company has built up a network of workshops that can support its extensive product range. Every Mattiazzi workshop has its own focus – from milling to lacquering – and a particular process always belongs to a specific part of town.

Their highly specialised craftsmen operate the most advanced machinery available to the wood industry, disproving the modern myth that mechanised manufacturing is not a craft.
This localised, and exceptionally professional, approach has allowed it to produce a collection of items that are second-to-none in terms of both quality and style.
