Sea & Symphony

What Sea & Symphony does

Sea & Symphony s.r.l. is an Italian engineering and manufacturing company founded in 1995 by Nino Biagini and Giovanna Sorba, headquartered in Moncalieri (Turin). The company designs and produces motorized TV lifts, brackets, panel systems, and custom motion mechanisms, with all manufacturing carried out in Italy. The product portfolio is organized into a Home Collection and a Marine Collection, spanning up-down lifts, the Alzo Zero double-stroke compact lift (now in 5th generation at 157mm depth for a 55-inch TV), swivel and cantilever rotation lifts, ceiling flip-down systems (BS Covered series at 120mm depth for 65-inch TVs), wall-mounted mechanisms, under-bed systems, panel sliding systems, kitchen automation (appliance lifts, sliding/tilting tops, turntables up to 1500mm), and yacht-specific solutions including compact dumbwaiters. The underlying technology is electromechanical — electric motors, servo-assisted rotation, RF and Bluetooth control, and clean-contact integration with home automation systems — with the company emphasizing miniaturization, silent operation (<45 dB), and marine-grade durability.

The business is built on a dual revenue model combining a standardized catalog (much of which originated as custom projects) and bespoke engineering for shipyards, luxury furniture OEMs, hotels, and government clients. Go-to-market runs through direct contact with the commercial office, a global network of authorized distributors (notably Artsys Electronics in Turkey and Pilote Films in France), and authorized installers in Italy and abroad, supplemented by presence at trade shows including Cannes Yachting Festival, SICAM, Superyacht Summit Türkiye, and the Genoa Boat Show. The customer base is heavily skewed toward enterprise: virtually every major Italian and European superyacht builder (Azimut, Sanlorenzo, Ferretti, Benetti, Fincantieri, Perini Navi, Sunseeker, Gulf Craft), premium Italian furniture manufacturers (Poliform, Cassina, Snaidero, Euromobil, Turri), luxury hospitality (Belmond properties, Villa Passalacqua, Grand Hotel Tremezzo), luxury goods (Cartier, Chanel, Tiffany & Co., Montblanc), and government installations including a Cabinet Room (50+ units) and a Morocco diplomatic meeting room (80+ units). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based, with a 3-year warranty and €50M of product-liability insurance signaling institutional-grade risk management. The company has delivered 18,000+ mechanisms over its 30-year history and remains privately held by its founders with no external institutional investment disclosed.
