Italian Design Furniture: for those who appreciate true made in Italy craftsmanship

How does Italian Design Chairs select its Italian brands and manufacturers?

We partner only with verified Italian manufacturers that combine design leadership with certified production quality. Our criteria include design pedigree, factory capability, sustainability credentials, reliability of supply, and consistency of finishes across large orders—ensuring each brand can support both residential and contract projects.

How do you guarantee authenticity and provenance for each brand?

We order directly from the Italian factories and provide documentation such as order confirmations, batch or serial references, and brand warranties. Goods ship from Italy—either factory dispatch or consolidated at our Italian hub—so every item retains genuine Made in Italy provenance.

Which sustainability standards do your manufacturers follow?

Our brands maintain transparent environmental practices, including available EPDs, FSC-certified woods, and low-emission finishes. Many operate under ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 systems, with materials traceability that supports green building frameworks and responsible procurement.

Can I obtain samples, finish swatches, and technical specifications by brand?

Yes. We provide material swatches, sample chairs or components where feasible, and brand-specific technical sheets, 2D/3D files, and maintenance guides. This makes it straightforward to compare manufacturers and validate selections against your project brief.

What are typical lead times and are there minimum order quantities?

Standard lead times range from 4–8 weeks depending on the brand, product, and finish. Some collections or bespoke finishes may carry MOQs. We will advise at quotation stage and align production windows with your installation programme.

Do brands offer warranties and aftercare across markets?

Each manufacturer provides a brand warranty and service support. We coordinate post-installation assistance, spare parts, and finish care guidance to ensure long-term performance for both corporate and residential environments.
