Tura is part of the Italian talents of the Mid-Century. In the post-war years, while many producers are intent on adapting their production methods by targeting the mass, Tura remains dedicated to slow and traditional craftsmanship. It favors intricate and complex shapes and labor-intensive processes, which cannot be replicated in a large-scale factory system. As a result, Tura’s number of works available on the vintage market remains limited.
Today, the Tura company continues to produce luxury and Déco-esco furniture in Lombardy, but much information on Tura itself has been lost. The Brooklyn Museum in New York has several Tura designs that were originally exhibited between 1950 and 1953 at the traveling exhibition Italy at Work: Her Renaissance in Design Today.
