Lissone furniture industry district

Lissone furniture industry district

Not far from Monza and Milan, the town of Lissone represents one of the industrial centres that drove the “Italian economic miracle” during the 1950s and 1960s. Boasting a strong network of mechanic, electronic and chemical plants, Lissone is nonetheless the home of the furniture district.

A distinctive Italian peculiarity, industrial districts are one of the bases of the mid-sized firms that still today hold together the fabric of Italian production. Born out of the wood craftsmanship that has been distinguishing the area since the Middle Ages, the furniture industry is alive and kicking also today, still strengthening a bond between working plants and vocational schools that helped develop exceptional professional figures, almost unique in Italy and Europe as far as furniture design and production are concerned.

Just 24 kilometres from San Martino Quality Hotel, less than 30 minutes by car.
