The development of furniture in Lissone has roots that go back a long way: at the beginning of the twentieth century, the industries relating to wood, plywood, veneer, mirrors and accessories made with metal, marble, fabric or paint all flourished, while the carpenters of Brianza travelled around Africa and South America looking for high-quality logs. 

The need to furnish the Villa Reale in Monza played a fundamental role for the craftsman of Lissone, as it brought together carpenters, glaziers, decorators, upholsterers, marble workers and engineers.A period of technical progress began in the 1920s, accompanied by an interesting movement of ideas and projects in the field of figurative arts, and around the middle of the century the craft began to advance in accordance with the mass market for furniture.
