About Design Italia
Timeless Indoor Living
Our Story
Design Italia was established to bring exceptional Italian indoor furniture to New Zealand — crafted by skilled artisans, sourced through long-standing relationships, and designed to last.
Our journey began in Lombardy, a region of northern Italy renowned for its furniture-making heritage. We collaborate with manufacturers — including Erba Italia — whose expertise and attention to detail are reflected in every piece we offer.
With decades of experience through our sister brand, Design Warehouse, we understand the importance of timeless design and customer trust. Design Italia builds on that legacy, offering curated collections for homes and commercial spaces that value both form and function.
Every piece reflects a quiet confidence — the kind that doesn’t chase trends, but earns its place in your space over time.
Our Philosophy
At Design Italia, we believe that true luxury is quiet — found in craftsmanship, not ornament. That’s why we select materials not for trend, but for integrity: full-grain leather, sustainable feather fill, and durable frames built for decades of use.
Each piece is developed with a balance of heritage techniques and modern design precision — from traditional upholstery to advanced fabrication methods used by our Italian partners. This approach ensures the result is not only beautiful, but built to last.
Our Commitment
We’re committed to delivering indoor furniture that feels considered — never rushed. From the moment you view a product to the day it arrives, our goal is to ensure every detail reflects our standard of excellence.
Whether you’re furnishing a single room or an entire residence, you can expect service that’s personal, design advice that’s informed, and furniture that earns its place in your life over time.
