Beyond every ocean

There are typically Italian traditions born when the memory gets lost into legend. Traditions told us by our grandfathers like an old fable. Ancient professions, almost abandoned, remembered by few people. One of these traditions has always been recognized worldwide for its quality and elegance: the tradition of curtains and upholstery. Tappezzeria Artigiana Pivato has been keeping the quality and reliability flag high for forty years. And now it comes the second generation, the youngest one, who, on the strength of its experience and with the same energy, bears the responsibility for being the ambassadors of the “Made in Italy” worldwide.
“It’s a responsibility we carry without problem – Luca Pivato, the owner, says to us – we work knowing to be able to repay faith of the customers that believe in us”. “This is something connected to the effort we always spend offering an innovative and quality product at competitive cost. Thanks to that – Stefano Vettor, sales manager, underlines – we can offer abroad a service breaking down every localism or distance.”
This responsibility becomes a need that turns into reality. Many years spent studying and understanding, listening and satisfying customer’s needs. Pivato is a young and motivated organization, able to interpret the dream of customers to make them come truth. Apartments, houses, villas, and the restructuring of large yachts: that’s an important component in the sales volume of the firm. International studies of architecture and design become key partners and source of inspiration and views to achieve unique prestige solutions. A recognition that comes from afar, and the proof is the collaboration with the Carnival shipping company Carnival, for which Pivato is setting curtains and sofas for a new boat designed by J. Farcus.
“Indeed – the owner continues – working for large international cruise ships is always cause for pride and push to improve. We started just two years ago but we’ve immediately understood how we had to move.”
Stefano adds: “Since the very first time we’ve understood that our role wasn’t simply supplying a product, but also suggesting the kind of curtains you are searching for, respecting delivery times and spending limits requested by customers.”€
Ancient and Modern get married and sail on the seas of the world. Pivato firm wear the Italian colors with pride to show everybody that you can’t improvise quality, reliability and effort. Tappezzeria Artigiana Pivato is going to open soon the gates to East Europe. The Italian colors will get into Wien and through Russia, China and Japan, countries which are just a far away dream for many people.
There are firms that work for the highest quality only, riding that winged animal, famous all over the world as “Made in Italy”, that not everyone can ride horseback: Pivato firm is one of them.
