From idea to reality: how can Sititaly give life to your collection?

Da un’idea alla realtà come Sititaly può dare vita alla tua collezione

You have a seating collection in mind. The concept works, the design convinces you… but when you start thinking about materials, production, costs and feasibility, everything becomes more complicated.

Turning an idea into a seating collection means making the right technical decisions from the very beginning, avoiding costly or difficult-to-produce solutions, and designing with an industrial mindset.

At Sititaly, thanks to over 30 years of experience, we support designers and companies at every stage of the project: from prototyping and material selection to production and finishing.

Do you have an idea for a seating collection and want to understand how to turn it into reality, without wasting time and energy on the wrong choices?

Sit With Us is the starting point: a personalized consultation where we analyze your idea and begin building the most suitable solutions to make it concrete, efficient and ready for the market.

How the best seats are born: Sititaly focuses on dialogue

Come nascono le sedute migliori Sititaly punta sul dialogo

“The best seats don’t just come from an idea. They are a result of confrontation.”

It is a sentence that Davide often repeats. And in Sititaly, it has become an integral part of the work.

Projects that work out often start like this: someone sits at the table, communicate what they need, what’s wrong, what they imagine… and that’s where everything takes shape.

Thatis because a seat doesn’t have to look beautiful.

It must work every day, for years and years.

It is moved, cleaned, used by different people, often in intensive and high rotation contexts.

For this reason, appearance is not enough.

If designers and manufacturers don’t work side by side from the start, problems emerge quickly: hard-to-manage coatings, out of control costs, last minute changes.

Those working in the sector know it: it takes little to delay times, increase waste and compromise the efficiency of the product.

But there is a substantial difference between designing “for” the client and designing “with” the client.
In the first case, attempts are made.
In the second one, we enter a real co-design logic, where solutions emerge first and problems often do not even arise.

A method that simplifies (and accelerates) the process

From here comes Sit With Us: the Sititaly service born to make those who design and who produce collaborate, facilitating the co-design process.

It is not a form to be filled in, but a path of continuous comparison.

The shape is studied together, materials are checked, coatings are tested, real tests are made and the shot is corrected if necessary.

Sometimes a single detail is enough to change everything. Some other, it turns out that the best solution is the one no one had yet thought of.

Above all, this approach saves time, materials and unnecessary revisions.

Because you work immediately on a shared, clear and producible project without any “surprises”.

Method before style

Many projects start from an aesthetic idea.

It is normal.

But in production certain curves become complicated, some volumes unmanageable, some couplings unsustainable.

When technical design helps optimizing ideas right from the start:

  • banal (but expensive) mistakes are avoided,
  • the structure is shaped in such a way as to simplify the final coating,
  • waste is reduced,
  • the transition from design to prototype is faster.

An overall saving, which is directly reflected in costs, deadlines and perceived quality.

The difference is the table you sit on

“The sessions that work are born by sitting at the right table”.
This is a daily reality at Sititaly.

Those who come with an idea find a team open to comparison: no formalisms and no distance between who thinks and who does.
Dialogue remains open until the final prototype, because every step counts, and every detail can make the difference between a beautiful design on paper… and a product that actually works.

Over the years, this approach has made Sititaly a trusted partner for many firms and companies. For those looking for tailor-made solutions, without unforeseen events.

How to develop your own seating collection?

render p 6

The furniture market is constantly evolving and is made of many companies who want to expand their range of products, including in their catalog also a line of seats.

However, this process can be complex, especially for small and medium-sized companies, since it requires specific product knowledge and careful planning of the different design and production steps.

So, how to do in such cases?

Rely on an experienced seat manufacturer capable of supporting a small company in this process, anticipating and, consequently, avoiding the occurrence of any kind of problem.

At Sititaly we happen to be contacted by small or medium companies that ask us for support to expand their collection and that is why we decided to share our know-how; in this post we will explore the different stages of developing a seating collection and how an experienced supplier can help make your design dream a reality.

1.  Implementation of the project

The first crucial phase in the development process of a seating collection is the development of the project.

At this stage, two scenarios usually occur: some companies are already in possession of a project made by a designer; others start from scratch. In the second case, the seating provider can play a key role in advising the company in choosing an experienced designer. This designer will work closely with you to develop the concept, taking into account your style, customer needs and target market.

2. Development of three-dimensional mathematics

This phase requires specific technical skills and a deep understanding of ergonomics, comfort and design. An experienced supplier will have a team of specialized technicians able to translate the designer’s concept into a three-dimensional physical form. This phase is fundamental to ensure that the seat is comfortable, functional and aesthetically pleasing.

3. Creation of the 1:1 scale model

Once the three-dimensional mathematics has been developed, we proceed with the creation of a 1:1 scale model. This prototype will allow you to evaluate the appearance and comfort of the seat in a concrete way. It’s an interactive phase where you can make changes and revisions to make sure your final product meets expectations.

4. Construction of the mould

After obtaining the approval of the prototype, we proceed with the construction of the mold. This is a crucial step for large-scale production. The creation of the mold requires specialized skills and the use of sophisticated machinery. The seating provider will be able to manage this process efficiently, minimizing production time and costs.

5. Production of test sampling

Finally, when the mould is ready, the sample can be produced. This sample represents your final product, ready to be launched on the market. The experienced supplier will ensure that the production complies with the quality standards and that the product meets all the specifications set out in the initial design.

In conclusion, for small and medium-sized furniture companies wishing to launch their own seating line, collaborating with an experienced supplier is the key to success. This approach allows you to approach every stage of the project professionally, minimizing risks and ensuring a high-quality product that meets the needs of customers.

At Sititaly we are able to guide you step by step through all these steps and be a strategic partner for you.

Today choosing Sititaly is an advantage for companies looking for a durable, versatile, comfortable, and sustainably produced seat.

Made in Italy is famous all over the world; if we talk about furniture, Italy is renowned for its extraordinary sense of aesthetics and design.

This trend is also confirmed in the seating sector.

In fact, as you know, being able to tell the market that your products are 100% Made in Italy can only give you a push to differentiate yourself from the competition. There are companies that may boast only Italian design but then produce abroad, or other companies that simply finish assembling the finished product in Italy.

But why are 100% Made in Italy chairs so appreciated and requested by the market?

What are the elements that make Made in Italy truly unique and to which your customers or potential customers pay attention?

How to make your seats really comfortable

Tessa soft

When designing a seat, comfort is a fundamental aspect; this statement seems obvious and banal but it is not. In fact, until a few years ago customers used to look at product design first, giving less importance to comfort.

In recent years, the comfort of the seat has become more important: customers are looking for a functional, aesthetically pleasing and comfortable seat.

And that’s how the chair manufacturers have undertaken an intense research on the product to be able to meet the demands of the market.

But it isn’t a simple operation.

In fact, often to support the creation of a chair with a “more pushed” design it is necessary to resort to certain materials or construction systems that risk not ensuring the right comfort.

The seats made with the metal frame, for example, are not always comfortable because in the case of particularly essential shapes you risk feeling too much metal underneath.

And that is how convenience has become a widespread problem that greatly affects the process of creating the product.

Therefore, those who produce chairs know well how this aspect should never be underestimated.

The “comfort” of polyurethane flexible ultrasoft

Molded polyurethane is a material that can revolutionize the comfort of the seat; in fact, the structure in rigid polyurethane structural allows you to create comfortable seats without sacrificing a more advanced and modern design.

The surface of the polyurethane shell is uniform, and therefore more “welcoming”; in addition to this can be coupled parts in polyurethane flexible ultrasoft, which guarantee a remarkable comfort.

This particular construction system can include the insertion of flexible foams with different densities in the areas of greatest load, thus offering greater flexibility, as well as comfort.

In addition, this technical solution facilitates the work of upholstering and consequently the sealing of the shapes over time.

Knowing how important the comfort of the seat is nowadays, Sititaly prefers the use of rigid polyurethane and flexible foam to build its products. This technical solution also has the advantage of reducing the impact on the production environment since the flexible and rigid parts are easily separable during disposal or can be disposed of as a single material.

Sititaly at Interzum presents a new way of designing seating

WhatsApp Image 2023 05 11 at 15.27.30 7

Interzum, the world’s leading trade fair for furniture subcontracting, has just come to an end and we took part from 9 to 12 May.

The theme of this edition was “Shaping the change” and was developed by the participants following the common thread of Neo-Ecology.

Sustainability, technological innovation, attention to the environment and recycling are the aspects that must now be put first in the order of priorities of the furniture supply chain.

And Interzum was an opportunity for comparison to understand where we are.

We at Sititaly have welcomed this theme with pleasure, since our company has made sustainability one of its key points.

Sititaly, in fact, offers solutions with reduced environmental impact since each of our seats is designed with the utmost respect for the circular economy, starting from the use of mono-material and the choice of bio materials.

BIO polyurethane is made using renewable raw materials such as vegetable fibers (also NO FOOD) and does not contain solvents or chemical additives harmful to the environment.

The recyclability of polyurethane can be obtained in various ways, including waste-to-energy in special plants that convert polyurethane into thermal energy, or by grinding and reuse in by-products.

To this is added the fact that SITITALY has created a new seating construction system that contributes to a further step forward in eco-sustainability.

Our particular construction system involves the use of rigid structural polyurethane instead of the classic metal frame (difficult to separate from the flexible part during disposal).

This central structure is then coupled to the flexible part by light gluing or other systems that allow easy separation during disposal, in order to facilitate the recyclability of the different components.

In addition, at the end of the product life, the rigid part can be reused and only the flexible part can be replaced, thus contributing to a considerable reduction in the part to be disposed of or otherwise to be treated.

The result is a product that perfectly meets the demands of a sustainable economy and meets the needs of a market that today is increasingly sensitive to production methods and recycling.

The combination of rigid and flexible polyurethane that we have developed, in addition to promoting the recyclability of the product, also has advantages in terms of comfort, quality and greater freedom in the shapes and thicknesses of the various parts.

All this allows to create seats with lighter and stronger structures, as well as ensuring a longer life.

At Interzum we presented three new product lines that follow this eco-friendly philosophy, based on innovation: TESSA, MICOL and AGAR.

We are satisfied with the feedback received during the days of the fair, as well as the newspaper article published in Il Sole 24 Ore in which we talk about our way of working attentive to the sustainability of products.

Sititaly is a strategic partner that offers customizable solutions and third parties, taking into account the evolution of a market that looks to the future.

Today choosing Sititaly is an advantage for companies looking for a durable, versatile, comfortable and above all sustainably produced seat.
