About Legnoart

Legnoart (pronounced Lay-no-art) is made in the northern italian town of Omegna, about 50 miles from Milan. Omegna, built around Lake Orta and surrounded by mountains, is a beautiful part of the world and if you should be travelling in the area we would love to show you our factory.

This area has a long history of working with wood and stainless steel and is home to several well-known design-led housewares companies. If you visited the place you would easily see why so many designers find inspiration there. The business is run by Enrico Albertini and is very much a family business.

Enrico does the designs himself. He likes products that share form and function.
They must be beautiful to look at and perform well too. Each product must be perfect, true to the designer's creation, no matter if is more difficult to produce or takes a little longer.

The amount of work necessary to create these items mean they will be out of reach of many people but they are a "must have" for anyone seeking product at the pinnacle of design and manufacturing ability. When your leisure time is spent sailing in a natural lake, it is easy to see why we have a concern for nature and the planet. We use a lot of wood. Worldwide use of timber has often involved intense felling of forests but the trees are the lungs of the world and vital to the balance of the planet. Reduction of this "green lung" reduces the quality of the very air we breathe!
