Progetti is one of Italy's leading design companies. For the past 30 years, they have brought together some of Italy's most brilliant product designers, thinkers and researchers to help create a unique range of contemporary house and living accessories for homes, offices and spaces worldwide.
Based out of Carate Brianza, just north of Milan, Progetti aims to be a source of new and interesting responses to evolving design trends and ideas and loves to challenge, to rethink with originality, and to add life and fun to simple and everyday objects, without losing their main function.
Progetti are recognised as being one of the most prominent design leaders in the "Made in Italy" series - an yearly run award for all Italian innovations and services in a wide range of Italian products, brands, arts and creative industries. Progetti has claimed not only commercial results but also recognition by many important institutions including both New York and San Francisco MoMA who have included in its catalog the modern Progetti clocks 'Rnd Time', 'Fun Time', 'Target' as well as the cuckoo clock 'q01'. Various of their products were on display at the exhibition "The Building of the Foreign Ministry and its collections" held at the Ara Pacis Museum in Rome and were included in the permanent collection "Farnesina Design" which often has its own objects in prestigious locations. Cuckoo clocks 'Capri', 'Double q' and 'O'Coque' are also displayed and included in the catalogue of the "Deutsches Uhrenmuseum", the German Clock Museum which was born in 1852 in the Black Forest region in German, home of the traditional cuckoo clock.
Progetti's modern range of cuckoo clocks are statements in both form and function. They have excelled in manufacturing and technology, leaving great freedom of creative movement for their designers, allowing for the creation of products that satisfy the most demanding tastes, attention to exclusivity and to detail, and also the expectations of a discerning audience - a sensitivity to challenging yet elegant objects, natural and ecological materials, simple and emotional design.
Their craftsmen and craftswomen breath life to each design down to the smallest details. Made from high quality wood, metal, plastics and other materials, these innovations are the basis of their ever-evolving catalogue which, above all, includes our favourite Progetti product range - the Progetti cuckoo clock - a modern cuckoo clock range that is truly unique in it's field.
All Progetti cuckoo clocks are fitted with an Engstler™ clock & cuckoo mechanism which is custom built by the Engstler cuckoo clock manufacturer in the Black Forest region, Germany. Their craftsmanship ensures the cuckoo clocks work as wonderfully as the world-famous traditional cuckoo clocks of the Black Forest region.
The hand-picked designers of these cuckoo clocks include some of the highest acclaimed product designers in Italy, many of international fame who are trained in multidisciplinary design fields which include architecture, product design, automobile design and fine arts to name a few. Each Progetti cuckoo clock is an extension of it's designers expertise from the most subtle nuances of form and colour to the boldest statements of materials and function.
