Italy's influence on the world of furniture design is undeniable. While history might point to France as the epicenter of luxury furnishings, the late 20th century saw Italy emerge as a powerful force, reshaping contemporary design and becoming a leading exporter of modern classics. This article delves into the heritage of Italian furniture brands, exploring the history of Italian furniture design that shaped their iconic status and showcasing 10 brands that epitomize Italian luxury and craftsmanship. We'll uncover what makes these Italian furniture brands so sought-after, from their innovative use of materials to their collaborations with visionary designers. As an Italian architect and founder of AD' Design Studio, with over a decade of experience creating bespoke interiors for ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs), I've had the privilege of working firsthand with these exceptional Italian furniture brands. Join me as I share my curated list and insider insights.


The Rise of Italian Furniture Brands: A Legacy of Innovation


While France dominated the luxury furniture and decorative arts worlds for centuries—from the opulent styles of the 17th and 18th-century Louis' to the Art Nouveau and Art Deco movements of the early 20th century—the latter half of the 1900s witnessed the exciting emergence of Italy as a major design force. Italian furniture brands' contributions during this period were so groundbreaking that they irrevocably changed the landscape of contemporary furniture, establishing Italy as a global leader in modern Italian furniture design and a major exporter of now-classic pieces. It is no wonder then, that famous Italian furniture designers are still regarded as masters in their field.


As Paola Antonelli, senior design curator at New York's Museum of Modern Art and a renowned expert on Italian design, eloquently states in the preface of Design Directory: Italy, "Nowhere else in the world can one find so many varied examples, both in terms of conception and of formal outcome; so many applications of diverse forms, from fashion and graphics to product and set design; such an extensive and multifaceted documentation recorded in literature; and such an international resonance."   


The mid-20th century saw the rise of visionary Italian furniture designers like the Castiglioni brothers, Vico Magistretti, Ettore Sottsass, Gio Ponti, Gae Aulenti, Marco Zanuso, Fornasetti, Harry Bertoia, Joe Colombo, Carlo Scarpa, and Gabriella Crespi. These pioneers, who often collaborated closely with Italian furniture brands, embraced a nonchalant yet sophisticated style, leaving an indelible mark on the design world. Their innovative work in the second half of the 20th century cemented Italy's reputation for creative excellence, with many pieces considered among the most iconic Italian furniture ever made.


A Legacy That Endures: Why is Italian Furniture Considered the Best?


It is important to note that that same passion for innovative design burns just as brightly today. Paola Antonelli further explains, "To this day, Italian furniture brands have been able to maintain their status and their experimental verve and, in a time short of great indigenous designers, are attracting the best talents from all over the world. They keep the flag of Italian Design flying high." This enduring spirit of creativity and craftsmanship is what makes the brands discussed in this article so exceptional. They represent not just the pinnacle of Italian design but also a continuation of a rich historical legacy that blends tradition with forward-thinking innovation.

About The Author, Andrea D'Anca


I’m Andrea D’Anca, an Italian architect and AD’ Design Studio founder. For over a decade, I’ve specialized in designing bespoke interiors for UHNWIs (ultra-high-net-worth individuals), crafting luxurious villas, penthouses, offices, headquarters, and restaurants that anticipate their every need. My deep understanding of their lifestyles and aspirations has led to collaborations with global icons like The Dorchester Collection, who value my ability to create spaces that embody effortless luxury and enhance their clients' lives.



Exclusive Italian Furniture & Italian Craftsmanship: A Personal Connection


Growing up in Italy, I was immersed in a culture where art, architecture, and craftsmanship are not just appreciated—they're a way of life. This heritage has profoundly influenced my design philosophy and is why Made in Italy furniture is so sought after. I believe your home is more than just a space—it's a statement, an extension of who you are.


Through my work, I've had firsthand experience with these exceptional Italian furniture brands, and I can attest to their unparalleled quality and craftsmanship.


Top 10 Best Italian Furniture Brands - Luxury


Below is my curated list of what I believe are the best Italian furniture brands. As someone who has designed luxury interiors worldwide for over 10 years, I've worked with these brands firsthand. Their craftsmanship is unmatched, and their ability to blend tradition with modern luxury Italian furniture is why I recommend them for the most exclusive projects.





  1. B&B Italia: Pioneers of Modern Italian Design

LUXURY ITALIAN FURNITURE: Up series armchair B&B Italia - iconic Italian furniture design

History and Founding:  Founded in 1966 by Piero Ambrogio Busnelli, B&B Italia emerged during a transformative era in Italian design history. They quickly distinguished themselves by embracing innovative industrial techniques, including pioneering the use of cold-processed polyurethane foam, revolutionizing furniture production and setting new standards for comfort and durability. Making it one of the best Italian furniture brands available.


Design Philosophy: Embracing innovation and experimentation, B&B Italia pushes the boundaries of furniture design while maintaining a focus on comfort and quality.


Signature Style:  Modern Italian furniture, bold, and sophisticated, with a focus on modularity and customization.


Price Range: High-end luxury.


Noteworthy Designers or Collaborations: Collaborations with renowned designers like Antonio Citterio, Patricia Urquiola, and Naoto Fukasawa. B&B Italia has also collaborated with international architects such as Zaha Hadid, whose designs pushed the boundaries of form and function, creating avant-garde masterpieces for their collections.


Iconic or Best-Selling Pieces:


  • "Up" Series Armchair: An iconic piece symbolizing female form and empowerment.

  • "Tufty-Time" Sofa: A versatile and modular sofa system.

  • "Charles" Sofa: A timeless classic known for its elegance and comfort.


Why it Stands Out: Their "Up" series is a prime example of how B&B Italia’s pieces are more than just furniture—they are artworks that define the modern luxury Italian furniture lifestyle. The “Tufty-Time” sofa, for instance, has become a staple in contemporary interiors, offering unparalleled modularity and comfort.

I often recommend B&B Italia to clients looking for sophisticated, customizable solutions. I’ve personally incorporated their pieces in several high-profile projects, including private villas and boutique hotels, where the furniture seamlessly blended modernity with comfort.

With B&B Italia, you don't just get furniture; you acquire art pieces that become conversation starters in your living space.

  1. Cassina: Italian Heritage with a Modern Edge

LUXURY ITALIAN FURNITURE: Cassina furniture in a living room

History and Founding:  Established in 1927 by Cesare and Umberto Cassina, the company initially focused on traditional craftsmanship. However, Cassina was instrumental in the shift towards industrial design in the 1950s, collaborating with prominent architects and designers to produce groundbreaking pieces that would become synonymous with Italian modernism.


Design Philosophy: Merging tradition with innovation, Cassina creates furniture that is both avant-garde and rooted in heritage.


Signature Style: Contemporary with a deep respect for classic modernism.


Price Range: High-end luxury.


Noteworthy Designers or Collaborations:


  • Le Corbusier

  • Charlotte Perriand

  • Philippe Starck

  • Patricia Urquiola


Iconic or Best-Selling Pieces:


  • LC4 Chaise Longue: Designed by Le Corbusier, a timeless piece epitomizing modern design.

  • "Maralunga" Sofa: An award-winning design by Vico Magistretti.

  • "529 Rio" Coffee Table: A sculptural piece by Charlotte Perriand.


The LC Collection, including the LC4 Chaise Longue, LC2 armchair, and LC3 sofa, stands as a tribute to modernist design, blending functionality with aesthetic purity. These pieces remain as relevant today as when they were first designed, gracing the interiors of luxury homes, offices, and art galleries worldwide.

Why It Stands Out: Cassina’s ability to balance modernism with functionality makes it a favorite among those who appreciate iconic designs.


In one of my projects in Warsaw, I sourced Cassina’s LC4 chaise longue. The client wanted something classic but modern and timeless, and Cassina’s heritage-rich designs were the perfect solution.  I’ve worked with Cassina furniture on multiple occasions, and their attention to detail is unmatched. Whether for a high-end residential project or a luxury office space, Cassina always delivers in terms of quality and elegance.

  1. Giorgetti: Woodwork Mastery Meets Luxury

  • "Progetti" Armchair: Known for its unique armrest design.

  • "Move" Rocking Chair:A contemporary reinterpretation of the traditional rocker.

  • "Rea" Bed: Exuding modern elegance with its sleek and sculptural frame.


Why It Stands Out: Giorgetti’s commitment to impeccable craftsmanship ensures every piece feels bespoke and timeless. Their ability to elevate wood into a luxurious medium makes them a favorite for high-end residential and commercial projects.


We recently used Giorgetti Progetti Armchairs and Sofa for restyling the spa of a luxury hotel in Rome, their timeless elegance and sleek design perfectly aligned with the exclusive ambiance of the venue. Their craftsmanship and attention to detail truly bring each piece to life. When I work with Giorgetti, I know that I’m getting something truly unique—furniture that feels bespoke and timeless.

  1. Henge: Avant-Garde Italian Artistry

LUXURY ITALIAN FURNITURE: HENGE table

History and Founding: Founded by Paolo Tormena in 2007, Henge furniture is a relatively young brand that quickly established itself as a pioneer in material experimentation and bespoke craftsmanship. Its ethos revolves around combining artisanal techniques with cutting-edge design, creating pieces that stand out as functional works of art.


Design Philosophy:  Henge’s design philosophy focuses on material exploration, highlighting the natural beauty of rare stones, burnished metals, and exotic woods. The brand thrives on creating pieces that feel both timeless and bold, transcending fleeting trends.


Signature Style:  Sculptural, artisanal, and avant-garde, Henge’s designs feature a meticulous attention to detail and use of rare metals, stone, and wood, making every item a statement piece.


Price Range: Ultra-luxury.


Noteworthy Designers or Collaborations: The brand collaborates closely with Massimo Castagna, who leads its creative direction. His ability to blend raw materials with refined techniques is evident in Henge’s entire collection.

  • Massimo Castagna

  • Yabu Pushelberg


Iconic or Best-Selling Pieces:


  • Downtown Sofa: A strikingly elongated and sinuous form with burnished metal supports on the rear, creating an impactful centerpiece. Designed for spacious, airy environments, it combines sensuality with a strong scenographic presence.

  • Diadema Table: A pure and disciplined design, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship. The table features a refined blend of premium materials, elevating simplicity into an art form.

  • Starlight Lighting: Sculptural, branching structures of pure materials that merge art and design. These dramatic lightscapes transform spaces with a sense of weightlessness and refined geometric interplay.


Why It Stands Out: Henge is the embodiment of Italian craftsmanship at its finest, blending innovation with centuries-old artisan techniques. Their focus on sustainable sourcing and one-of-a-kind finishes ensures that each piece feels like a unique story, not just a piece of furniture.


Henge's pieces go beyond functionality to become sculptural works of art. For a luxury villa project in Cambodia, I selected the Henge Downtown Sofa, the Henge Sisma Table and many other pieces, which added unparalleled drama and sensuality to the expansive living space. The client's reaction was exactly why I love working with Henge. Their designs don't just fill a space; they elevate it to an experience that's both personal and profound. Henge’s designs aren't just about aesthetics—they’re about creating an experience.

"Working with Andrea and experiencing Henge's unique designs was a revelation. Our villa now feels like a private art gallery. Every piece tells a story."

— Private Villa Owner, Cambodia


Imagine owning a piece from Henge—a table crafted from rare burnished brass that not only serves as a functional centerpiece but also as a reflection of your appreciation for exclusive artistry.

When I work with Poltrona Frau, I know I'm getting pieces that are both luxurious, enduring and that will keep their value.

Whether for residential or hospitality projects, their designs are bold yet timeless, making them an excellent choice for clients seeking standout furniture. I incorporated Rugiano’s pieces in a luxury bedroom project in Warsaw where their distinctive use of metal and leather for the bed gave the interiors a striking, modern yet timeless look.

  • "Takto Timepieces": Exquisite wall and desk clocks blending modern design with timeless precision.


Why it Stands Out: Teckell’s unique approach to design makes their creations conversation starters. Their pieces are not just functional—they’re a testament to luxury and craftsmanship.

Teckell is one of the most requested brand by my clients. We recently incorporated a Teckell pool table into a luxury penthouse project in Dubai. The transparent crystal glass frame, combined with meticulously crafted details, made the table the centerpiece of the entertainment area. It became a conversation starter. My clients were thrilled with how it blended art, functionality, and luxury into one incredible piece. Teckell adds a touch of uniqueness that resonates with clients who seek something extraordinary.


"The Teckell pool table not only serves as a game table but also as an art piece that impresses every guest. Andrea's recommendation was spot-on."

Bonus section: Best Italian Kitchens, Lights and Bathrooms


To complete your luxury experience, I want to introduce you to three exceptional Italian forniture brands that specialize in kitchens, lighting, and bathrooms. These brands are not just manufacturers; they are artisans who transform everyday spaces into extraordinary experiences.


True Italian luxury extends into every corner of your space. Here are three specialty brands that elevate kitchens, lighting, and bathrooms to an art form:

History and Founding: Established in 1925, Arclinea designs state-of-the-art kitchens that combine functionality with sophisticated aesthetics. They are masters at crafting culinary spaces that are both beautiful and highly efficient.


  • Why It Stands Out:  For clients who are passionate about cooking and entertaining, Arclinea offers customizable solutions that cater to both professional chefs and home cooking enthusiasts. Their commitment to sustainability and eco-friendly practices also resonates with clients who value responsible luxury.

History and Founding: Barovier & Toso, founded in 1295, is one of the oldest Murano glassmakers in the world, creating lighting fixtures that are as artistic as they are functional. Their hand-blown glass chandeliers and lamps are iconic, adding an element of Venetian elegance to any space.


  • Why It Stands Out: Barovier & Toso brings centuries of Venetian artistry into modern interiors.

    I recently used Barovier & Toso chandeliers in a luxury hotel project in Rome, where their craftsmanship added an unmatched sense of grandeur and sophistication to the grand dining hall. Each piece was individually crafted, making it a true work of art that transformed the entire space.



  1. Antoniolupi (Bathrooms)

LUXURY ITALIAN FURNITURE: ANTONIOLUPI BATHTUB IN BLACK MARBLE

History and Founding: Established in 1950, Antoniolupi specializes in high-end bathroom solutions, from freestanding bathtubs to bespoke sinks and vanities. Their focus on innovation and design ensures that their bathrooms are both functional and visually striking.


  • Why It Stands Out: Antoniolupi creates spa-like bathroom environments that combine form, function, and innovation. In a recent project, I used Antoniolupi fixtures to create a spa-like bathroom that exuded elegance and serenity. Their innovative designs allowed me to craft a bathroom that wasn’t just a functional space but a sanctuary of relaxation.

Helping my clients sourcing Italian furniture has always been part of my design philosophy. Traditionally, it was a service reserved for my interior design clients. However, over the years, I’ve seen too many clients being misled—paying inflated prices for subpar or misrepresented products. Hidden markups, long delays, and poor-quality items sold as “luxury” are far too common.

​​

That’s not the Italy I represent. That’s why I decided to open up our procurement service to a wider audience. I want to ensure that discerning clients l  can access authentic Italian craftsmanship, transparent pricing, and impeccable quality—without compromise.


When you work with me, you’re not just hiring a procurement agency. You’re working with a designer who lives and breathes Italian luxury. My team and I oversee every detail, from sourcing to installation, ensuring a seamless experience and extraordinary results.


Please note: To provide the level of service and attention each project deserves, I only take on 3 new clients per month. If you’re serious about bringing the best of Italy into your space, don’t wait—contact me today
