Functionality in Timeless Design
Segis embodies a philosophy that transcends the creation of furniture. For Segis, a chair is not just a chair; it's a mood, an experience crafted with love, that goes beyond functionality. Each piece is meticulously designed to not only work well and endure the test of time but also to be interchangeable in components, extending the lifespan of pieces and sharing commonalities with other Segis furniture design.
Established in 1983 in the town of Poggibonsi, Italy, Segis has evolved into a symbol of cultural elegance, tracing its genesis from the Renaissance period through the creation of handmade decorative objects for aristocrats. With technologically advanced production facilities in both Italy and Vietnam, Segis is a leading force in the design and manufacture of innovative furniture, seamlessly blending functionality and aesthetics.

Franco Dominici, the visionary behind Segis, chose Tuscany for its quality of life and the ability to produce high-quality products that respect the materials used. Segis products are designed for longevity, unlike disposable furniture. Take, for instance, the seamless dual material chair 'Breeze' by Carlo Bartoli, a high-demand product with reuse and repair considerations, allowing for easy separation of materials and replacement of seats and backrests.
BREEZE
Materials play a crucial role in Segis' commitment to sustainability. The company was an early adopter of injected moulding, introducing chairs with air moulding technology, a considerable technical challenge. The use of noble plastics like polypropylene, highly recyclable even after two decades, showcases Segis' dedication to responsible manufacturing and commitment to exploring regenerative and recyclable materials.

They are timeless works of art, embodying a perfect balance between ability and sensibility, contributing to the transformation of the world around us and the way we live in it. They are influenced by the natural world, with careful considerations in materiality, repairability and design longevity.
