About Us

CIDA is more than furniture.
It is a state of mind. Embodied by a team that wants to make difference.

CIDA is part of the 1886Ventures family. It all started back in 2019 as a project within the Mercedes-Benz innovation department Lab1886 and was successfully tested as a pilot in China. In October 2021 it became part of the 1886Ventures portfolio. Since March 2023 CIDA officially started its first cooperation with Mercedes-AMG.

The CIDA-team is the strong foundation of our company with a set of excellent skills and a true circular mindset. But above our entrepreneural, digital and financial know-how we all share the passion for creating sustainable, modern luxury products for iconic brands.
