As a supplier of world-renowned interior design offerings, FCI London is constantly looking for brands that excel in style, originality and innovation. And there is one that stands out from the crowd. Who are they, you ask? We’re delighted to present Naos and are proud to include them as part of our portfolio.
In an ever-changing environment where technology has a continuous impact on state-of-the-art production methodologies, we understand that new-age consumers now demand unprecedented levels of perfection. And this exceptional company does exactly that.
For the past 40 years, Naos has been a leader in Italian industrial furniture design, providing furnishings that are truly unique in both form and functionality ensuring the next level of comfort in furniture.
Originally founded in the mid-eighties by Mario Morbidelli, its legacy began with the realisation that movement could play an integral role in the constructs of modern tables. An ingenious concept that has elevated the brand from a dozen offerings to its current position as a highly-regarded manufacturer of contemporary furniture.
A stickler for high-quality production, Naos bases its clever “against fixed ideas” manifesto on thorough research and out-of-the-box thinking.
Drawing its inspiration from a quest to balance both mechanics and emotion, its resourceful design team focuses on bringing us creations that animate our homes.
Here is everything you need to know about its exclusive collections.

Chat NowFor Naos, “action design” is the key component to ground-breaking furniture production. Incessantly finding new ways to innovate through movement, the business has historically partnered with a crew or genii who have revolutionised its craft.
Paolo Lamazzi and Donato D’Urbino, whose work is still displayed in the Museum of Modern Art, New York, first cemented the company’s vision in the 1970s. Denis Santachiara, a mastermind at intersecting new technologies with art, was then responsible for the blueprints of the ‘90s, and a slew of respected names followed.
From Yoshiharu Hatano’s sophisticated inroads into table designs using Japanese influences to Giusy Mastro’s brainy seating solutions, the brand has certainly rocked the interior industry.
Now, creative guru Andrea Casati and president, Thomas Morbidelli, drive its philosophy forward, ensuring that Naos remains unmatched when it comes to seamless engineering.
But what makes the brand so exceptional? This is the low down:
The integration of movement, supreme functionality and eye-catching aesthetics are the key components that have placed Naos unequivocally ahead of the state-of-the-art furniture game.
Between professional decorators and design aficionados alike, they are now one of the most sought-after furniture manufacturers in the luxury living industry.
Over the years, the science of home décor has evolved to encompass much more than just aesthetics. And in reality, selecting items for your living areas solely based on how they look has now become a thing of the past.
In the design phases of luxury furniture, comfort and ergonomics are essential factors to keep in mind due to their massive impact on the user’s end experience. And for this reason, respected manufacturers like Naos and Cattelan Italia constantly vie with each other to become the cream of the crop.
Aside from being aesthetically beautiful, high-end décor should be convenient, cosy and easy to operate, making form and function key components in the viability of one’s investments. Here is the difference between the two:
In order to get this right, ergonomics comes into play, which means that each seating system is scientifically tailored to ensure certain benefits. Here are the main perks:
Poorly designed furniture can cause a number of health issues, including back pain, neck strain and fatigued muscles.
By eliminating pressure points and creating properly orientated features like adjustable headrests, lumbar support and armrests, ergonomics ensure that the body’s natural posture is well maintained.
In luxury furniture, functionality and ease are key requirements. For example, a well-designed armchair will fulfil its purpose of allowing end users to sit back and fully relax without feeling any bodily strain.
In order to achieve this, most reputable designers employ a set of standard measures that have been calculated for ideal postural health using the principles of ergonomics.
There are many areas of the home in which furniture is used for extended periods of time, for example in bedrooms or home theatres.
For this to be beneficial to the human form without causing undue distress, comfort is imperative and noticeably increases the emotional happiness of the end user.
It stands to reason that the more joy you get from a product, the more value it has. Not only from a health, purpose and comfort point of view but also from an investment perspective.
Good ergonomics will increase the worth of each furniture piece and will justify a higher price tag.

As a market leader in opulent dining room tables and chairs, coffee tables and side tables, Naos is renowned for pushing the barriers of conventional design. Not only does this outlook make every product state-of-the-art, but it allows it to significantly up its offerings when it comes to luxury lifestyles.
With this in mind, here are 5 reasons why Naos products can enhance your living spaces:
With its outstanding craftsmanship, advanced technologies and impeccable attention to detail the Naos furniture range is made to last, ensuring that you will benefit from each piece for decades to come.
Eco-friendliness has become a prime concern in interior design with consumers taking a newfound interest in reducing their carbon footprint. From stainless steel and ceramic to glass and aluminium, Naos uses a wide variety of sustainable materials that meet these expectations.
Designed with minimalism and graphic linearity in mind, Naos offers a level of sophistication in their designs that perfectly complements any aesthetic. So whether you love an industrial look, pay homage to traditionalism or adore contemporary furnishings, each piece will add a touch of elegance to your home.
To further enhance their aesthetic appeal, Naos allows you to configure your products of choice to match the genre of your home. By offering a range of materials and finishes, you can customise and create your own unique design.
Every piece under the Naos banner incorporates a degree of movement that was previously thought to be impossible in this type of furniture. This incredible innovation has enabled the brand to effectively maximise the usability and practicality of its range.
From coffee tables that can be adjusted to different heights to dining chairs that allow you to lean back and get comfortable, they are the epitome of pragmatism.
By far the most complex of all their products are their extendable dining tables which, according to our experienced design team, are one of the most convenient furniture pieces available.
Why? Because if you have family or friends who are prone to popping in on you without much notice, they provide a quick solution to a potential space crunch.
Most extendable dining tables have leaves or panels that are created to fit and remain concealed beneath the main table construction and fold out as needed. But, while the Naos range is no different in that regard, its offerings come with an added feature.
Cutting-edge technology and futuristic designs allow you to expand and retract your table with either a simple push of a button or via remote control. Not only does this make them both convenient and exciting to use but, with many of their designs featuring exposed mechanisms, they have become sought-after objects d’art.
If that doesn’t motivate you to buy one, here are some added benefits that will:
With so many gorgeous offerings to choose from, we thought we’d start your Naos journey off with 6 of our favourite pieces, curated by our top interior designers. Here they are:
Designed by Giusy Mastro, the Babette soft dining chair is the perfect accompaniment for any dining room, allowing you to sit back and relax in optimal comfort. With a discreet gas spring mechanism that enables the backrest to recline and a beautifully upholstered seat in an elegant choice of leather, you are sure to be dining in style.
Elegant and modern, the Isotta dining chair features comfortable leather upholstery in a range of colours, enhanced by sledge legs that augment its sleek, contemporary aesthetic. The inbuilt gas lifting mechanism, which is one of Naos’s brilliant innovations, is easily adjustable, keeping you comfortable for hours on end.
Sculptural and arty, the Latour dining table will add glamour to your aesthetics. Its refined metal base in an intricate crisscross design supports a ceramic or glass top in a choice of exquisite finishes, allowing you to choose the right fit for your space. Featuring double-sided extensions that pull out in one easy motion, you’ll be able to create an abundance of space for extra guests in no time.
If you’re looking for an iconic centrepiece for your dining space, the Galax is a must-have. With its beautiful glass top that fully exposes a state-of-the-art extension mechanism, it certainly brings a cool factor to any modern home. Curved metal legs in a range of finishes provide a stark contrast and visual interest, making it a discussion piece that is sure to turn heads.
With its striking geometric base and an ingenious mechanism that rotates the two lower tops outwards, the Uptown coffee table is an architectural masterpiece. Customise it to suit your style with a choice of ceramic finishes for the main top and glass or ceramic options for the extensions.
The Hive coffee table, designed by Andrea Casati, has a unique metal base that was created to resemble the patterns found in a honeycomb. A fantastic option if you love entertaining, the main top can be turned to automatically open three lower surfaces, giving your guests ample space for their drinks and snacks. This bespoke option allows you to choose from a variety of beautiful materials to match your living room aesthetics.
If their “against fixed ideas” ideology gets you super-excited and you love the inclusion of mechanical engineering in your furniture choices, Naos is the brand for you.
