Quinti — a serious Tuscan workshop, not a catalogue brand, for the US contract floor
American contract projects can buy anonymous seating anywhere; what's harder to find is a serious maker with a name to protect. Quinti is one: a Tuscan workshop in Cesa (Arezzo) that started in 1975 making seating mechanisms and now produces entirely in-house — lounge chairs and small sofas, waiting seating, meeting, executive and task chairs, all Made in Italy.
For a US corporate or hospitality interior it means craftsmanship with reputation behind it: in-house control, certified materials, and an Italian character that reads across a lobby or an executive floor.
A workshop that sews its own upholstery deserves a proper introduction: La Mercanti brings the sample chair to the project before the order.

FAQ
What does 'made in-house' actually change for the buyer?
It means the frame, the mechanism and the assembly come from Quinti's own Tuscan workshop rather than a chain of sub-suppliers — the company began in 1975 building seating mechanisms, so the engineering is theirs. For a US buyer that translates into consistent quality across a reorder and a maker accountable for the whole chair. La Mercanti coordinates the specification and the documentation for your project.
How is a Quinti order handled for a US site?
Production is Made in Italy and shipped to the US as a coordinated consignment: upholstery grades, quantities and delivery access are fixed before production so the seating installs cleanly. La Mercanti manages the freight, the paperwork and the samples end to end.
