Italian furniture brands London designers should know in 2026
By Faura Editorial · · 9 min read
The Italian brands London interior designers most commonly specify in 2026 span joinery, upholstery, contemporary furniture and textiles: Laura Meroni for bespoke wardrobes and boiseries; Longhi for architectural doors and furniture; Rugiano and Cantori for upholstered pieces and beds; Turri for whole-room interior collections; Bonaldo for contemporary catalogue; Dedar for fabrics and wallcoverings; and Bizzotto for accessories and decorative pieces. This is a working directory of eight houses worth knowing — for confirmed heritage details, please refer to each brand's own website.
How should I read this directory?
Each entry below is a working note, not a brand biography. "Specify for" is the pragmatic bit — the scheme types where designers most often reach for that house. Where you want the fuller product overview, follow the linked brand page.
Laura Meroni
Italian bespoke joinery house best known for walk-in wardrobes, boiseries and freestanding case goods. Specify for prime residential dressing rooms and integrated wall systems.
Rugiano
Italian upholstered furniture, beds and case goods with a distinctive use of stone, brass and hand-stitched leather. Specify for warm, tactile luxury schemes across apartments, private clubs and boutique hospitality.
Bonaldo
Contemporary Italian furniture developed with a rotating cast of designers. Specify for contemporary residential, developer show apartments and workplace or hospitality lounges where a design-forward catalogue is needed.
Dedar
Italian textile house with upholstery, drapery, wallcoverings and trimmings. Specify for curtains, upholstery and wallcoverings across residential and contract projects.
Longhi
Italian house producing furniture, doors and integrated boiseries. Specify where architectural door systems, wall panelling and loose furniture are best delivered under one manufacturer — particularly for whole-apartment fit-outs.
Turri
Italian house producing complete interior collections from bedrooms to dining and office. Specify for prime residential and hospitality suites that need a coherent room-by-room Italian package.
Bizzotto
Italian home brand covering furniture, lighting and decorative accessories. Specify where a scheme needs coherent accessories, mirrors and secondary lighting in quantity.
Cantori
Italian house known for beds, seating and dining pieces combining hand-worked metalwork with refined upholstery. Specify for bedrooms and dining rooms where distinctive metalwork is part of the scheme.
How do I pair these brands into a coherent scheme?
A common pattern is to anchor the architectural elements with one house (Laura Meroni or Longhi for wardrobes, boiseries and doors), layer upholstery from a second (Rugiano or Cantori), and use a textile programme from Dedar across curtains and wallcoverings so the colour story stays coherent between rooms. Bonaldo, Turri and Bizzotto then fill in loose furniture and accessories against that spine. Because all of these are held at Faura's Westminster showroom, the pairing can be tested in person against physical samples rather than assembled from photography.
Beyond furniture: Italian stone, bathrooms and lighting
Italian design does not stop at furniture. For stone and porcelain surfaces, see Margraf for natural marble, Florim for large-format porcelain slabs and Alabastro Italiano for alabaster. For bathrooms and brassware, Antonio Lupi and Gessi sit alongside the furniture roster. For how these categories combine on a single project, read stone, porcelain and marble surfaces for London projects.
All of these brands are held at Faura's Westminster showroom. To review references, samples and finishes in person, book a private appointment, or see the full trade roster.
