LAGO was founded in 1976 by Giuseppe Lago, but in reality its roots go back to the late 19th century, with the figure of Policarpo Lago, a cabinetmaker and craftsman who carried out his work in noble Venetian villas and churches.
In 2006, now in its fourth generation, it became an S.p.A. and opened up to the international market, offering its innovative design and digital-oriented communication abroad. It is managed by three brothers - Daniele Lago, Head of Design, Franco Lago, Head of Innovative Design Project, and Rosanna Lago, Head of Controlling - supported by a team of young managers and collaborators. LAGO is present in more than 20 countries around the world with over 500 selected shops including numerous mono-brand shops and more than 150 projects for hotels, B&Bs, retail spaces, restaurants, bars and offices in Italy and abroad, in cities such as Rome, London, Paris, Taipei, Kuwait, Shanghai.
In June 2024, the company announces the appointment of Daniele Lago as President and Gilberto Negrini as Chief Executive Officer (CEO), with the aim of guiding the company through its next challenges, especially in strengthening its foreign markets.
