Inspired by early mid-century design, Donghia's Cantilever Chairs evoke Angelo's keen eye for restrained elegance. Donghia's commitment to the classic cantilever design is reflected by the chair's metal base and absence of back legs, while a fully upholstered seat and back provide modern comfort.
The Cantilever's linear form and comfortable seating experience provide this piece the versatility to be used in various applications: houses, offices, hotels and ships.

Donghia's Focal Chair was inspired by classic, cantilever based chairs. Donghia further interpreted this design by adding the tightly upholstered seat, back and arms of a traditional lounge chair - to a polished steel sled base. 
The Focal's linear base and soft upholstered curves create an interesting design juxtaposition, while still maintaining the comfortable seating experience expected from Donghia upholstery.  
Pulled from the Donghia archive, this piece was first introduced in 1984 with the launch of the Donghia Furniture Company.

Inspired by the French Neoclassic period, the Grande Flute Chair has expanded and applied to the whole surface the fluting which often decorated the legs of the Louis XVI armchairs. By following traditional techniques the Grande Flute Chair is contemporary classic, with an opulent style and enduring comfort. This chair -  like the Focal Chair and the Cantiliver chair -  was first introduced in 1984 with the launch of the Donghia Furniture Company.

Originally designed by Angelo Donghia for the interiors of several of his clients' residences the Divan Bed echoes the style found in many of the furniture pieces Angelo designed: soft lines, over scaled appearance, and versatility. Pulled from the Donghia archive, this piece was first introduced in 1984 with the launch of the Donghia Furniture Company. Extremely versatile thanks to the seat and cushions, the Divan Bed can be used as bed, but also as a comfortable chaise longue or a sofa.

The design of the Laurent Dining Table was inspired by the classic and minimal style of the Thirties, period that was a major influence on the designs and interiors of Angelo Donghia.  
The unique pedestal base, the tapered lines, the narrow curves, the brass metal detailing, are subtle embellishments that exude the simplicity and clean lines of Donghia design and give the table an understated elegance. The finish is in Black Limba and the top can be square or rectangular.

Highlighted by delicately curved arms, the Dominique Dining Chair embodies the simple forms, dramatic lines and elegant curves which are the typical elements of the minimalist style of 1930's Paris.
For this reason the Dominique was named for the French design firm from the 1930's that was known for its simplicity and dignified design. Produced in solid walnut, Dominique Dining Chair is suitable for both modern and traditional interiors.
