Fratelli Levaggi is an artisan company that has been producing authentic Chiavari chairs since 1963 using traditional methods and materials.


 

Who we are

  • “We have never given in to the opportunity of mass-production. We love molding and giving new life to every single element in our chairs. Evaluating the quality of the wood, knowing how to read the natural grain, enhancing its peculiarities, they are all stages that we are not willing to outsource to a heartless automated process.”

  • “Every single stage of creation, from cutting the trunk to applying the last coat of varnish, is carried out and followed closely by our own artisans, right in our workshop. We don’t use semi-finished products from external sources; we personally follow the entire production process.”

  • “Everything done by hand requires a lot of time and dedication. Every item that comes out of our workshop is the our best representation of quality and attention to detail.”

  • “We believe that the “know-how” achieved through sweat and tears of entire generations of craftsmen, is an invaluable heritage that will be protected and passed on to our young.”
