Silvio Cavatorta (1899-1957):
Silvio Cavatorta’s father, Eugenio Cavatorta, founded “Cavatorta,” the furniture/upholstery company in 1869. Silvio, one of thirteen children, started working for the family business after the First World War. He was the primary designer for Cavatorta, designing furniture for both home and commercial interiors. Even under German occupation during the Second World War, Silvio continued to work. Silvio’s son, Franco, while studying to become an architect prior to finishing his degree in 1950, completed internships in the studios of Le Corbusier, Arne Jacobsen, Finn Juhl and Sven Markelius. Franco Cavatorta was the one to introduce the new style, generally defined as ‘Swedish’, and manufactured his designs in his fathers furniture factory, keeping the Cavatorta name alive and thriving.
