Founded in the foothills of Tuscany and steeped in the world famous and historic Italian passion for design Alivar has been producing brilliant pieces of design for almost fifty years. Each of their pieces of furniture has its own distinct identity while still adhering to a strongly defined and remarkable design vocabulary. Alivar creates objects for every room of your home, using some of the most sophisticated, refined and resilient the market has to offer.

The creative mind behind Alivar’s contemporary and innovative designs is architect Giuseppe Bavuso. Alivar and Bavuso’s design philosophy conveys subtle elegance, where luxury is evident but not glaringly displayed. This ensures all of the company’s pieces are designed to be timeless with the highest quality materials by the most experienced craftspeople. Alivar produces seating, bedding, storage, tables and exceptional decorative objects.

Alivar Furniture

Alivar furniture represents the essence of Italian design with clean lines, advanced craftsmanship, and enduring quality. Each item is made in Italy, where attention to detail and material excellence form the core of production. The company’s portfolio includes sofas, dining chairs, coffee tables, shelving, and beds that reflect both comfort and style. By combining traditional Italian know-how with modern technology, Alivar has created furniture that resonates with homeowners and design professionals around the globe.

Collections and Highlights

At Pad Furniture, we offer some of Alivar’s most celebrated designs. The Annika dining chairs are a perfect example of the brand’s ability to balance form and comfort, with sleek frames and ergonomic seating. For dining rooms, the Compass dining tables provide bold geometric lines, acting as both a practical surface and a striking centrepiece.

In the living area, the Horizon sofas showcase Alivar’s reputation for comfort, precision tailoring, and adaptable design. Pairing seamlessly with these are the Cyclos coffee tables, which add sculptural interest while remaining highly functional. For storage and display, the Shanghai bookcases embody modern Italian elegance, bringing a sophisticated edge to libraries, living rooms, or offices.

Design Philosophy

Working under the guidance of Giuseppe Bavuso, Alivar pursues a philosophy of understated luxury. Rather than loud statements, each piece communicates quality through proportion, balance, and careful detailing. The emphasis on materials, ranging from woods and marbles to fine leathers and polished metals, ensures durability as well as visual appeal. This dedication means Alivar furniture can be passed down across generations while still feeling modern and relevant.

International Appeal

While deeply rooted in Tuscany, Alivar’s collections have found homes in residences and commercial projects around the world. Architects and interior designers often turn to Alivar for solutions that bring Italian character without overpowering a space. The brand’s ability to blend into different contexts makes it equally suited to contemporary apartments, traditional villas, and stylish hospitality venues.
