VIP is a craft company that makes custom and highly customized furniture and especially armchairs in central Naples. Founder Vittorio Pappalardo, a craftsman with a strong entrepreneurial spirit, has created a workshop where a team of specialized artisans make custom creations under his direction not only in relation to the design of the armchairs, to ensure the best ergonomics and comfort for his clients, but also in terms of creativity, choice and assembly of fabrics, customization of decorative elements that are embroidered on the fabrics or directly applied to the structure of the furniture.

Vittoria, the founder’s daughter, follows in her father’s footsteps and contributes to the family business with her design and communication skills, devising special projects such as armchairs designed and made specifically for the female clientele.
