Italian Augusto Garavaglia has a traditional art to develop modern decoration elements for residential and contract areas.
CONTRACT is for Augusto Garavaglia Company, born in 2007, a choice of methodology of work and basically is divided in:
- PRE-PROJECT DESIGN: based on lay out made with the customers and relevant needed products and standards

- PROJECT AND SETTING: based on the presentation of the final project in light of selected, suitable materials and chosen colors. The project therefore not only reflects the standards and certifications, but also the creativity and skill of our company.
Augusto Garavaglia company uses Trevira yarn, flame retardant fabrics for special, unique contract-contests, which are interesting not only from a creative point of you, but also from a comparison between high quality and good price level. Mr. Augusto Garavaglia, the proprietor of the company, says, “There were specialties for every decade in the past. Now the most important thing is the research not only concerning look and colors in fabrics but also new and particular yarns, technical as steel and copper and natural as bamboo and organic cotton.”
In the Augusto philosophy, new technical materials such as puc, inox, copper, brass combined with open weaves of fabrics are source of inspiration of the modern and contemporary architecture thanks to their place of lights. Natural fibers as cotton, linen and wool blended with new yarn as raffia, rubber and paper (100% ecological and antibacterial) give unexpectedly a touch chic and unusual to the rustic aspect of the fabrics themselves.
Even leathers through different and particular proceedings and finishings take variations of light and shadow, shiny and dull, clean and vintage which perfectly match with textile combinations between modern and natural.
The latest news in the company is horsy leather, hides with long and short hair printed, plain, bicolor or laser cut. Fabrics, highly technical or even elegantly natural, extend sets developing areas with strong stage effect. Fabrics with bicolor palettes and geometrical patterns give a touch of glamour to the collection, while velvets sometimes double with metallic foil are the novelties for walls and headboards. Very strong is the will of recovery and the research of new materials and trends.
