Manoteca is a design studio founded by Elisa Cavani in Bologna, Italy. It creates sculptural furniture handmade in Italy: tables, lamps, mirrors and wardrobes, each one unique. Every piece originates from reclaimed materials found in Italian homes, workshops and rural spaces, transformed and reimagined in their purpose through imagination and craft. Manoteca works on two fronts: collectible design as unique works, and bespoke commissions for private clients, interior designers and architects worldwide.
