During the 20th century, Cantù was considered the Italian city of furniture. However, after the war, Cantù failed to catch up with the rapid changes and advancements and there were other foreign countries such as Scandinavia which, with their own styles, grew in popularity and formed massive competition for Cantù. For this reason, Cantù needed to renew its often obsolete designs to keep up with trends and gain new popularity. In the spring of 1954, Cantù's board of directors decided to launch an international competition for furniture designers that would revive the local design economy and draw attention to Cantù. The "Selectiva del Mobile" was born, which would be organized every two years until 1975.
