A philosophy of production
Each piece of furniture has details and finishes that can be seen and touched whereas the construction and assembly systems are generally not apparent. However, they are fundamental to the solidity and long-life of the furniture: we, at Salca, have always worked with respect toward the old and still valid methods of jointed construction, which guarantee the permanency in structure of our products: certainly a costly and refined choice, but not always easy to appreciate because these qualities are sometimes difficult to observe.
The cycle of production
The entire production cycle takes place in our plant.
Only some inlaid works and carvings are partially entrusted to outside work.

Assembly
The assembly of the elements composing the structure of the furniture takes place once the machinery work is finished.
Carpentry
After the assembly every piece of furniture is completed in each of its elements (photos A and C).
Our high professionality enables to assist Customers' special works with competitive times and with the quality of current production (photo B).
Finishings
We have the greatest care for the finishing cycle which - from the initial aging (photo D) to the final padding (photo E) - consists in 6-9 phases according to the result required.
