Our existing showroom in via Solferino was a lovely space, but somewhat limited in terms of floor area, and didn’t allow us to display our range of products as we wished, particularly with our increasingly expanding Home Collection. In the first quarter of 2018 we therefore enlarged the showroom substantially, adding approximately 160 square metres which includes a 50 square-metre terrace to take the entire showroom to over 400 square metres, elevating its presence to make it a significant player in the hard-fought Milan design world.

Our design ethos when it comes to the products we create is based on elegant simplicity and we wanted to ensure this was echoed in the showroom itself. As such we maintained the original brickwork of the building where possible, complementing it with our own wall textures in natural stone.

The building, over 200 years old, comprises several unorthodox spaces, some of which were not able to structurally changed, so we embraced their individuality and transformed them into a series of intriguing rooms which gave visitors a sense of discovery and delight when they found them.

The terrace area houses our first ever outdoor furniture collection, and reveals itself as a surprising oasis of tranquillity in the middle of a busy city.
