A leader in the production of decorative surfaces in reconstituted wood veneer, Alpi was the first company in the world to industrialize this manufacturing process. The perfect balance between manual skills and high technology makes the firm unique. On the one hand, Alpi is pure innovation, ahead of the demands of the market; on the other, it represents painstaking craftsmanship.
It all started in Dorset, in 1946, with pioneers John Farrow and Richard Ball, who shared a passion for making rich colours to original formulations using only the finest ingredients. Responding to all types of light, our richly pigmented paint and handcrafted wallpaper deliver a unique depth of colour and quality of finish which brings walls to life. From subtle neutrals and muted pastels, to lively accents and rich dark hues, each of our 132 colours has been created with care and thought.
Scavolini has always paid the utmost attention to the research and design of its kitchen, living-room and bathroom furniture models, which are produced entirely in Italy and exported to 60 countries. We have always found these same values in Azure, and in the AZ Awards, which we are proud to be sponsors of.
