Founded in New York in 2003 by engineer Bartolomeo Bellati and designer Stefano Venier, Canova makes tailor-made kitchens and residential millwork for luxury homes and multi-unit developments. Its Italian designers work with architects and developers, while a Venetian-region factory handles larger production and a nearby artisan workshop builds highly customized pieces by hand. The company’s work ranges from complete interiors to distinctive furnishings such as the Cubica media unit and Aurea chest of drawers.
