The research pushes toward unprecedented combinations, where the density of marble and the rigidity of metals machined from solid open up new physical and visual paths. This approach, free from dogma, is supported by the good fortune of working in a unique area: the Veneto district that serves international high fashion as much as superyacht shipbuilding. Master craftspeople who work stone, cabinetry and metal with maniacal precision, piece by piece, impossible to replicate on an industrial scale. The very best of Luxury Made in Italy, to achieve outstanding acoustic and aesthetic performance.

A Family Story

The two brothers who founded the brand bring two different backgrounds but a single vision: one drawn to the physics of acoustic emotion, the other to the pursuit of form and material. Over their long experience they complement each other perfectly, in both technique and aesthetics, and in the search for the ideal formal and sonic performance.

This union has led CLA to express superior technical content and a genuine artistic exploration, which finds voice through the contemporary design of its musical objects. In a professional partnership that has lasted since 1994, the founders fondly recall, with amusement, their beginnings: the first creations built in a garage and a few adventurous deliveries, with the speakers transported by boat across the Venetian Lagoon.
