Italy is synonymous with luxury furniture with glamour and curated design.

 Italy is home to some of the most respected designers in the world, in both the field of fashion and interior design. Italy´s design is synonymous with chic, luxury and glamour. As italian culture is devoted to aesthetics, and their designers have a good understanding of color, texture and symmetry. They merge traditional, luxurious design elements with modern flair and functionality to create something that is interesting and indulgent while also modern, earthy and neutral colors and an understated sophistication are all important elements of italian interior design.

Interior design in italy can be traced back as far as the roman empire, when the rich used frescoes and mosaics to brighten up their homes. Even these mosaics, as beautiful as they were, served a purpose – reflecting the customs and values that were important in the society of the time.

In the medieval era, italian nobles would use frescoes, marble, mosaics, glassware and sculpted furniture to make their mark on their properties. In renaissance times, gilded mirrors, oriental carpets and velvet drapery were the fashions of the time. The arrival of art deco in the 20^thcentury saw fashions move to lighter fabrics and fixtures, with round and oval shapes being an important part of every design.
