Lapalma

Lapalma is an Italian furniture company based in Cadoneghe, outside Padua, founded in 1980 by the brothers Dario and Romano Marcato. It started with a low table the two designed in a garage and sold at a trade fair, and built its identity on metal: chairs, stools, armchairs, sofas and tables for offices, hospitality, contract and the home, between industrial process and craft-level finishing.

The catalogue holds pieces that have become recognisable, from Lem, the 2000 stool by Shin and Tomoko Azumi inspired by the lunar module, to Yo, the Y-shaped side table by Romano Marcato, and the Plus modular sofa system. Lapalma works with designers such as Francesco Rota, whose Hub seating is the latest launch, renewed its colour range with Raffaella Mangiarotti in 2026, and exports its design for better living to contract projects worldwide.
