Want to talk about incredible luxury furniture? Then let’s speak Italian. Minotti specifically. The Italian company has a big international reputation for delivering exceptional contemporary furniture. The classic-modern lifestyle brand has focused on residential furnishings since 1948 though it did not grow into international territory until the 90’s. It is no doubt that a Minotti furniture piece is a luxury furnishing. The brand has strict quality standards and exclusive textiles with sophisticated textures and structured wefts.

A minotti sofa can start at $14,000 for a three piece and climb up from there. What makes it so expensive? The raw materials, the comfort, the design, and the quality. I promise there is a BIG difference in the feel and comfort of luxury furnishings. I am a big believer in mixing high-end and low-end furniture so I won’t always guide clients to buy luxury. However, I am also a designer 

I am often asked why is “that piece” so expensive?! My answer is simple. We are a culture that sees value in luxury cars, indulge in five star restaurants or hotels, and even splurge on those exquisite bed sheets that feel like a “cloud”. So why not a sofa that you will sit on daily? Luxury brands pride themselves on curating a timeless style which is what good design is about and it takes making the right investments to achieve that. that believes luxury pieces are worth the investment for the right setting/ right interior. Like a well tailored men’s suit or a luxury handbag that you will use and love for five, ten, or twenty years.
