Maxalto was originally set up in 1975 as a high-end group of B&B Italia to focus exclusively on the production of artisanal, mostly wood furniture. Artona was their first project and served as an early Post-Modern counter-message against the common prevailing use of plastics in furniture design during the postwar period.
