By Faura Editorial · · 8 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 luxury interiors; Bonaldo for contemporary catalogue; Dedar for fabrics and wallcoverings; and Bizzotto for accessories at scale. This is a working directory — with heritage, signature strength and typical project use — of eight houses worth knowing.
Laura Meroni
Founded 1968 in Mariano Comense, Brianza. Family-run bespoke joinery house best known for walk-in wardrobes, boiseries and case goods — Nomad, Downtown and Icone are common references. Specify for prime residential dressing rooms, integrated wall systems and yacht cabins.
Rugiano
Founded 1970 in Meda, Brianza. Upholstered furniture, beds and case goods with a distinctive use of onyx, brass and hand-stitched leather. Specify for warm, tactile luxury schemes — apartments, private clubs, boutique hospitality.
Bonaldo
Founded 1936 in Villanova di Camposampiero, Padua. Contemporary Italian furniture developed with international designers. Specify for contemporary residential, developer show apartments and workplace or hospitality lounges where a design-forward but production-reliable catalogue is needed.
Dedar
Founded 1976 near Como. Independent Italian textile house with upholstery, drapery, wallcoverings and trimmings. Signature ranges include Tiger Mountain and Karakorum, alongside long-running collaborations with Hermès and Etro. Specify for curtains, upholstery and wallcoverings across residential and contract projects.
Longhi
Brianza-based 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
Founded 1925 in Carugo, Brianza. Century-old family house producing complete interior collections from bedrooms to dining and office. Specify for prime residential, superyacht and hospitality suites that need a coherent room-by-room Italian package.
Bizzotto
Founded 1969 in the Veneto. Broad Italian home brand covering furniture, lighting and decorative accessories. Specify where a scheme needs coherent accessories, mirrors and secondary lighting in quantity — residential styling, boutique hospitality, short-stay.
Cantori
Founded 1968 in Castelfidardo, Marche. Iconic Italian beds — the long-running Chanel model in particular — plus seating and dining with hand-worked iron and refined upholstery. Specify for bedrooms and dining rooms where distinctive metalwork is part of the scheme.
