What is Esperiri's Furniture Shopping Tour?
Esperiri’s Furniture Shopping Tour is a guided journey through Italian design, led by one of our interior designers. Starting from Milan, you visit the showrooms of leading Italian furniture brands, artisan workshops and production sites, selecting furniture, windows, doors and materials such as stone, marble and wood for your home while enjoying the best of Italian hospitality, food and culture.
How is Esperiri's tour organised, and what does the studio take care of?
Esperiri builds each tour around your project. Before you arrive, we agree on the rooms, style and goals of the trip, then plan an itinerary of showrooms, laboratories and ateliers. On request, thanks to our connections in the world of hospitality, we can also arrange design hotels, restaurants, private transport, concierge service and VIP lounge.
Where in Italy does Esperiri's Furniture Shopping Tour go?
Esperiri’s tours start in Milan, home to our studio and to the flagship showrooms of Italy’s great design houses. From there, the route follows what your project needs to specify, through Italy’s production districts in Lombardy, Veneto, Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna.
Is Esperiri's tour for me if my project is still at an early stage?
Yes. Esperiri offers two kinds of tour. An inspiration tour, for clients at the start of a project who want to discover brands, materials and furniture manufacturers and define a direction. A targeted tour, for clients with a project under way who need to confirm specific products and finishes before ordering.
Can my architect join Esperiri's Furniture Shopping Tour?
Yes. Esperiri’s tours are designed for private clients furnishing a new or renovated home, often abroad, and equally for the architects and designers who work with them. Seeing, touching and comparing Italian furniture together, with the support of a Milan team, makes every decision faster and more confident.
Once I have made my choices, does Esperiri take care of orders and shipping?
Esperiri does. Our Branded Furniture Supply service takes over after the tour: we place the orders, follow production, consolidate the pieces and ship them worldwide, with installation by Italian craftsmen or by your own trusted installers. What you select in Italy arrives in your home exactly as chosen.
Can I commission a one-of-a-kind piece through Esperiri during the tour?
Yes. Among the workshops and ateliers you may find an artisan able to make what no collection offers. Esperiri’s Bespoke Italian Furniture service develops the idea from there, as it did for a New York home furnished with unique pieces discovered on tour.
