FURNITURE
The traditional art of furniture making focuses particulary on the Quarrata area a few kilometres outside Pistoia where many avant-garde businesses in this sector are located.
Many companies work in Pistoia manufacturing household linens and in the surrounding area skilled embroiderers still make prestigious fabrics that are exported and admired around the world. One particularly well-known old embroidery style is the "Casale stitch" named after the village near Casalguidi where it originated.
