We are in Pasian di Prato, close to Udine. Tarta Design headquarters have wide well-finished spaces,  more similar to a museum than to the workshop of a successful little Italian company.

 

Marco Galante is the inventor of the patent Tarta®. In 2010 then he founded the Tarta Design. He realizes a dream, something new based on a personal concept, appealing for the international market: an ergonomic, flexible, elastic, compact, easy to carry, durable backrest. It is designed in a modular way so that it can be built directly according to the structure of the single person asking for it and moreover devoted to the 'design for all’ philosophy.

The history of Tarta Design of Udine is the result of twenty years of experience in health orthopedics focusing on serious physical disabilities. Within few years, this small company of excellence based in Friuli decided to completely change its production, taking advantage of the evolution of materials and technological innovation, it opened the way for design and orthopedic solutions for small children. Overall the company employs 8 people.

 

Today's award-winning Tarta Design products are exported to more than 30 countries around the world, from New Zealand to Canada, from Australia to the United States via Japan, Korea, and Europe. After applying the 3D printing and prototyping of new products, having invested in design and communication, Tarta Design, since a year now, has decided to apply the same design principles to solutions for children with physical disabilities, aged from 7 months to 4 years.
