David Overy is an atypical Florentine. By character, you would call him a Neapolitan: he is cheerful, bright, likes racing cars, spectacular women. However, there is something from his native city: addiction to expensive, delicately made things. He could become, as is customary here, a goldsmith, but became a furniture maker. His company FORMITALIA LUXURY GROUP has been working in the premium segment for over twenty years. “Business is a race: if you are not the first, you are late,” he says. —Along the last furniture salon in Milan, a significant proportion of the space was occupied by interior items produced under the labels of fashion houses. If a couple of years ago it was one or two brands, now it has become a mass phenomenon. It all began with us, many years ago we offered Paolo Gucci to make a collection for us. She was a resounding success. Even then, I thought that the future was behind furniture with a logo. Then I infected the idea of releasing furniture in the style of a sports car Tonino Lamborghini, Ferruccio’s son. Then we got the ASTON MARTIN collection. Every year we release a new series of items, but they are always in one recognizable style: dynamic design, leather "interior", exclusive finishes — this is furniture with character, for those who are used to high speeds. I myself sometimes pulls on the gas. "
