From a Cushion Workshop to a Lifestyle Brand
The story of Twils is that of a family that learned its craft starting from the details: first cushions, then upholstery techniques, then bed bases, then beds. A slow and deliberate progression, rooted in the Veneto textile district, that built a manufacturing know-how rarely matched elsewhere. "We started with cushions, we learned to understand materials, upholstery techniques, to work with tailoring mastery": this is how the family describes their journey. Over time, Twils extended its language to the living area, conquering the living room market with the same care devoted to the bedroom — until becoming, in the brand's own words, "a lifestyle brand in every sense."
Matteo Ragni, the Compasso d'Oro and Creative Direction
Since 2020, Twils has benefited from the creative direction of architect Matteo Ragni, a Milanese designer and winner of two ADI Compassi d'Oro, the most prestigious recognition in Italian design, and author of projects for some of the most important international companies in the sector. Ragni leads both the Better Dreaming line (bedroom) and the Better Living line (living area), with a vision that favours furnishing elements "designed to enter the world with gentleness", enhancing materials, tailoring technologies, and supply chain sustainability. In 2021, Twils reissued Polet, the iconic armchair-bed originally designed in 1992: a bed that becomes an armchair — or rather, a high-backed throne that has become a cult piece in the brand's catalogue and a perfect example of functional, ironic design.

FAQ – Twils: Your Questions, Our Answers
Who founded Twils and what does the name mean?
Twils was founded in 1982 in Cessalto, in the province of Treviso, by the Carnieletto family. The name is an acronym formed from the initials of the four founding siblings: Tiziano, Wilma, Luisella, and Simone. The company was born as an artisan producer of high-end linen and textiles, progressively expanding its catalogue to upholstered beds, bed bases, sofas, and living room accessories, while maintaining the tailoring vocation of its Made in Italy origins.
Who is Matteo Ragni and what is his role at Twils?
Matteo Ragni is a Milanese designer and architect, winner of two ADI Compasso d'Oro Awards — the most prestigious recognition in Italian design. Since 2020 he has held the role of Creative Director at Twils, leading both the Better Dreaming line (beds and bedroom) and the Better Living line (sofas and living area). His design vision prioritises the tailored treatment of materials, understated functionality, and supply chain sustainability — in perfect harmony with the brand's founding values.
What is Polet and why is it considered an iconic piece?
Polet is Twils' celebrated armchair-bed, originally designed in 1992 and reissued in 2021: a bed that transforms into an armchair — or, in the brand's own words, "a throne, with its back so high that it makes for a deliciously ironic and functional piece of furniture." Over time, Polet has become one of the most representative pieces in the Twils catalogue — a design that manages to combine formal wit, practical function, and tailoring quality in an immediately recognisable object.
