Don't just buy Italian furniture. Buy Italian design expertise.
When you buy from Italy, you don't just get access to the products.
You get access to the people, knowledge and culture behind them.
GLOBAL PASSION
More than furniture.
Access to Italian design culture.
Buying Italian furniture from abroad is not simply about finding a better price.
​
It is about gaining direct access to the companies, products and design culture that made Italian furniture famous worldwide.
​
And when you work with an Italian authorized dealer, you also gain something that is much harder to find elsewhere:
people who know Italian design from the inside.
Our architects don't simply sell Italian furniture.
They work within the culture that created it.
Our designers are based in Italy, trained in architecture and immersed in the world of Italian contemporary design.
They know the brands, but also the systems behind them.
They know how products have evolved, how collections are developed, which finishes work together and how individual pieces relate to architecture.
This knowledge allows us to do something that a catalogue or online configurator cannot:
select the right product for the right space.
Why should I buy Italian furniture from an Italian dealer if I can buy the same brand in my own country?
You may be able to buy the same product locally. What is harder to find is the same level of access to the culture and knowledge behind Italian design.
Our architects work directly with Italian furniture brands and have an in-depth understanding of their collections, systems, materials, finishes and configurations.
We don't simply help you choose a product.
We help you understand which product makes sense for your project — and why.
​
Italian furniture is often a system,
not just a product.
Understanding Italian furniture means understanding how products can be configured, combined and adapted to a space.
Dimensions, modules, finishes, upholstery, materials and technical details can completely change the result.
Our experience allows us to work with these possibilities rather than simply selecting an item from a catalogue.
The Italian eye
There is something difficult to put into a catalogue.
It is the ability to look at a room and understand when something is right — or when something is missing.
The proportion of a sofa.
The relationship between a table and a chair.
The way a fabric changes under natural light.
The balance between warm and cool materials.
The amount of visual weight in a room.
The difference between a space that is simply furnished and one that feels effortlessly right.
We call it Italian taste.
It is not a style.
It is not a trend.
And it cannot be downloaded.
It comes from a culture of architecture, design, materials and making things well.
Italian taste is not an Italian style.
We don't believe every home should look Italian.
Good design should respond to the architecture, the location and, above all, the people who live there.
Our role is not to impose an Italian look on your home.
It is to bring an Italian way of looking at space, proportion, materials and design into your project.
Is buying furniture directly from Italy cheaper?
It can be.
Buying from an Italian authorized dealer can offer competitive conditions because you are purchasing close to the source and working directly with a dealer established within the Italian furniture market.
But price is only one part of the equation.
The real advantage is having one experienced Italian partner who can help you select the products, define specifications, coordinate different manufacturers, manage production and organize international delivery and installation.
The real saving is not always on the invoice.
A wrong configuration, an unsuitable finish, an incorrect measurement or a product chosen without considering the rest of the project can cost much more than the original price difference.
Our job is to help you make the right decisions before the order is placed.
Sometimes the best saving is simply getting it right the first time.
Why shouldn't I simply order Italian furniture online?
You can.
If you already know exactly what you need, buying a product online can be straightforward.
But furnishing a home is different from buying a product.
When the project involves several rooms, different manufacturers, customised configurations, materials, finishes and international delivery, expertise becomes part of the product itself.
Our job begins where the catalogue ends.

A small Retreat
Surfers Paradise, Australia
"Hi Massimo,
Long time we haven’t communicated and I hope that you & your family are sound and safe especially with the pandemic situation.
As you may know, our international borders have been closed since March last year and should be closed until mid next year.
So we cannot travel and cannot come and visit you unfortunately.
I am coming back to you as we will need some new furniture from your company.
We just bought a small apartment that we need to furnish. How could we have access to your catalogue to identify our needs?
I thank you in advance for your kind assistance.
Stay safe,
Robert"
"Hi Massimo,
FYI, we have just received today our shipment.
Furniture looks wonderful in our small apartment.
I am attaching a few pix (note in one them our very first meal “pesto pasta” 😆) for your perusal.
Stay Well & Stay Safe
Robert"
"Dear Mr. Robert,
I'm very glad to read from you and thank you for contacting me concerning the furniture of your new house; I have published a shared directory on Dropbox including a complete selection of brochures.
We can plan a face-time call for Thursday morning 10 am Italian Time (It should be 6 pm, in Sydney).
I look forward to talking to you soon,
Warm regards
Massimo"
A matter of Finishing
Sydney, Australia
"Dear Massimo,
Thank-you for your prompt response.
I would appreciate your opinion and comments with regard to the covering of the sofas which we intend to place with 2 existing armchairs which are in black leather.
My initial thoughts are that the sofa may look better in fabric rather than leather.
Regards,
Gary"
"Hi Massimo,
Just a short note to let you know that the furniture has arrived safely with no damage thanks to your excellent packing.
I have sent you some photos of the items installed in our apartment... sorry for the poor quality as they are from my telephone camera.
We are very happy with the black leather Tufty Time sofas... they are very comfortable and look fantastic... you were right about them looking better in leather rather than fabric.
Best Wishes,
Gary"
"Dear Mr. Gary ,
Concerning the sofa, the use of leather is strongly advisable both in term of durability and elegance.
We often sell it in fabric when the client requires the product to be softer, but in in your case, considering the daily use and the layout of the project, I would suggest to opt for leather.
Yours Sincerely
Massimo"

Furniture & Art
Montpellier, France
"Dear Massimo,
I got your contact data from mr B from Belgium who purchased furniture from you.
I am building a house in Montpellier France and am interested to have your quotation and advice.
Would you consider visiting the house with me and suggesting an interior design and decoration?
Best regards,
Dirk"
"Dear Massimo,
I have a collection of 10 original Andy Warhol screens on Mao.
Can you suggest how to place them on the wall above the pool window?
Best regards,
Dirk"
"Dear Mr. Dirk,
According to the wall dimension I would suggest to place them as per sketch attached... these screens were conceived to be placed in close sequence one after the other, according to the basics of the Pop art by Andy Wharol.
Kind regards
Massimo"
"Dear Mr. Dirk,
At present I'm in London for a couple of days to finish the rebuilding and furnishing of a loft in the south Kensinghton area, but as soon as I'm back I would be more than happy to meet you in Montpellier to have a glimpse of your project. When would you be able to meet me on site? Do you have a plan (dwg or pdf file) so I can start checking the spaces for the possible lay-outs?
Thanks and regards
Massimo"
"I agree Massimo!
Lets do that.
Best regards,
Dirk"

"Hi Massimo,
All has been delivered by Tramo this afternoon. It looks great!
Thanks again for all the care and efforts.
