The company first attracted (international) attention by producing a number of designs by gio ponti and by advertising their other models in leading magazines like domus. The company grew quickly: by the mid-1950s isa had become a household name in italian furniture manufacturing, employing about 400 people. Apart from ponti's models, the company executed furniture of several other designers as well, like: veronesi, fiori and morbelli. And around 1960 isa acquired the licenses to produce the sheriff chair by sergio rodrigues and the holmenkollen chair by arne tidemand ruud as well.
