The collection covers chairs, small armchairs and office armchairs, armchairs and sofas, tables, low tables and trolleys, desks, consoles, cabinets and libraries, beds, lamps, accessories and carpets, and the modular Work System.

Craftsmanship in Cascina

Production is in Cascina, a town with an art and craft culture dating back to the late 19th century; many of Ceccotti's craftsmen trained at the Cascina Art School, founded in 1871. Each design is engineered through prototypes before production, assembled by hand with natural vinyl glues, and finished by hand.

• Wood: mainly American walnut, in natural, dark, moka or brown shades, and ash in colours from light to black, with maple used for interiors and Italian poplar plywood in structures.
• Metalwork: a dedicated department makes the brass, steel and iron components, and handles, feet, hardware and hinges are made in the in-house workshop.
• Shellac: a process of several stages lasting up to six days, which Ceccotti says gives each piece a unique lustre.

Designers

Roberto Lazzeroni, an architect from Pisa, designed Ceccotti Collezioni's first collection, Dedos Tenidos, with Franco Ceccotti, and recent pieces such as Janine Lounge and the Skilful credenza. Other designers include DRAW Studio, creators of the Eugene armchair. The Masters Tribute collection revives 20th-century designs, such as the Captain Hook wall clock after Guglielmo Ulrich.

Sustainability

Ceccotti says 90% of its wood comes from US plantations managed under SFI and FSC forest certifications, it uses only formaldehyde-free vinyl glues, and wood waste is turned into pellets to heat the plant. With solar panels on the roof and LED lighting, the company reports energy self-sufficiency from renewable sources.
