Matrix International

Matrix is an Italian furniture design company with contemporary projects. All production processes — selection of materials, manufacturing, finishing, assembling, quality control and packing — are performed by Italian manpower. All Matrix products are manufactured with particular care and carefully checked before delivery. The leather is tanned in old wooden barrels according to the ancient Italian tradition, using vegetable extracts free of harmful substances - this is why it grows more beautiful with time. The fabrics are made of natural fibres, all of them washable except those for which different cleaning instructions are specified. Matrix commitment to the cause of a safe environment called for the use of expanded CFC free foam for the seatings. Cushions fillings are made of processed and selected feathers in order to guarantee hygiene and healthiness. All metallic frames are produced using cold rolled tubular or structural steel which is then emery polished, nickel plated, chrome plated, brushed and polished. The lacquering is done with epoxy varnishes, all previously kilned-dry at high temperatures. Wooden pieces are proposed in different types of wood and varnished with appropriate finishes. All production processes (selection of materials, manufacturing, finishing, assembling, quality control and packing) are performed by Italian manpower.
