The family company Cavatorta was established in 1869, in Rome, Italy by Eugenio Cavatorta. The company was specialized in producing only small and exclusive series. The furniture was designed for each specific commission. In 1930, Eugenio Cavatorta son, Silvio Cavatorta took the company over and later on transferred it to Franco Cavatorta. Today, Cavatorta’s furniture remains highly sought after.
