Eclecticism is Contardi strength and what distinguishes them from the rest. Style variety does not mean a lack of identity though. On the contrary, it means a capacity to interpret different styles and to adapt to different settings An eclectic offering actually has more to do with providing a sense of cohesiveness, like a single conceptual thread tying own design to the design philosophy of the architect, and that of the client.
Contardi team up with international designers who have been able to interpret and anticipate global trends in both the residential and the hospitality sectors and, most importantly of all, to understand the evolution in living in general with a design that expresses the pleasure of elegance along with a specific function.
