Acerbis, the most established brand of Italian furniture history, was founded in 1870 by Benvenuto Acerbis as a carpenter's shop in Bergamo. The brand, which started to produce colored varnishes with the takeover of his son Marino in 1942, was founded in 1963 by Lodovica Acerbis, bringing the craftsman heritage together with distinguished architects and designers.
Lodovico and Giotto Stoppino created the award-winning Sheraton in 1977 cementing the company's focus on developing polyester lacquers and studying new materials and technologies. Work by Massimo Vignelli, Foster+Partners and Marco Acerbis brought more awards through the turn of the millennium.
The acquisition of Acerbis International by industry leader MDF Italia in 2020 brought fresh vigour to one of the most enduring furniture companies in Italy whose continual search for modernity has produced creations of stunning innovation. Newly appointed creative directors Francesco Meda and David Lopez Quincoces helming a dynamic path forward, Acerbis affirms its family-led lineage of cutting-edge vision, and its universe of designs that unite function and the avant-garde.
