The industrial revolution has had a great and lasting effect on the Italian furniture industry including its products and practices. However, one of the reasons Made in Italy design furniture remains relevant and iconic is due to traditional styles and handcrafts remaining as part of the processes. There are still many companies that produce their furniture the old way with experienced, practiced artisans. Handcrafted and hand-painted furniture allows more freedom of expression. There’s a unique nature to something that has been imagined and created with the hands of another human. You can’t get that quality from machines and probably never will.

If you are looking for handcrafted and hand painted details in your Italian furniture, appliances, and accessories, Esperiri can help guide your search with access to the best Italian furniture brands.

Handcrafted Italian Furniture

One of the most iconic of 20th century Italian furniture design is the handcrafted and hand-painted 1978 Proust armchair by Alessandro Mendini. Mendini reinterpreted existing designs with updated features. The wooden frame was hand-carved and hand-painted as well as the matching multicolor fabric upholstery covering the cushions. This becomes like a work of art, with the painting extended to the frame.

The Proust armchair is currently available in a multi-color pointillist brushstroke or geometric design by Cappellini, which inherited the design in 1993. A version of this chair is in the permanent collection at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. There have been several other variations on the chair over the years, but these two remain the most iconic.

Hand-painted design furniture and products give an artistic flair to your home interiors. One of the finest Italian luxury fashion houses, Dolce & Gabbana has partnered with an Italian manufacturer of high-end kitchen appliances SMEG. Sicily is my Love is a project that brings the story of Made in Italy together with appliances for the home. These are exclusive luxury products, keep in mind. The products include hand-painted refrigerators, toasters, juicers, coffee machines, kettles, blenders, and more.

The designs are not only colorful symbols of Italian flair, but Sicilian folklore. These decorative aspects from lemons, prickly pears, red cherries, to Mount Etna reveal the aesthetic of Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana.

The artistic vision is brought to its best light with this commitment to tradition.
