Modenese Interiors - a 200 Year Old Italian Luxury Furniture Brand

This is the story of Modenese Luxury Interiors, an Italian luxury furniture company that has an experience of more than two centuries (200 years) in the furniture industry – a phenomenal achievement by a fabulous family.

The beginning:

Casale di Scodosia is a quaint village tucked away in the beautiful locales of North Italy famous for its woodworking heritage. This is exactly the place where the luxury classic furniture business of Modenese Interiors originated. The year was 1818. Similar to many other families in the village, the Modenese family also put up their own workshop to create farming tools from wood. The demand from the surrounding communities and towns for farming tools and of course the quality of production from the Modenese family ensured a healthy business. This was the humble beginning of a business that would span 7 generations with the passing of the secrets and heritage of exquisite furniture making. Amazingly even today the Modenese Interiors factory functions from this very place.

The growth:

With the afflux of time and with the constant efforts of the family, the workshop and the furniture production range kept evolving from trailers and carts to hand made simple home furniture. This constant push towards improvement resulted in the expansion of the production range and with the new generation of the family joining hands in the business, the product line just grew tremendously. As the country of Italy evolved passing through various historical landmarks and transformations so did the Modenese Interiors grow from strength to strength.

The popularity:

When you have good quality and dedication, your success definitely grows by leaps and bounds.

This is exactly what happened with the Modenese luxury furniture brand as its popularity soared both locally as well as internationally especially in Germany post the Second World War. The orders for their brand of furniture kept pouring in and they kept delivering high quality furniture and satisfying every client’s needs.

Core values:

The primary reason behind the outstanding success of the Modenese Interiors furniture has been the set of core values that this family business has followed diligently decades after decades. Although they have adapted to the modern times and remained flexible in terms of their production, the Modenese family has steadfastly held on to its traditional roots. The focus has always been on quality and there are three core components that have been constantly maintained:

• 1. The evergreen classics of baroque
• 2. Solid wood as a primary material
• 3. An exclusively manual production

These values and a strict discipline has ensured that the brand has always grown positively and is a well-known and highly respected luxury furniture brand across Italy and across the world today.

The transformation:

The real big leap for the Modenese Interiors furniture business happened around the end of the 1960s as one of the new generation, young and dynamic Gastone took over the management reins of the company. With a vision for the future and passion to grow he transformed the erstwhile small workshop into the huge luxury furniture production factory that it is today. The production line expanded exponentially from single furniture items like chairs, tables, sofas, beds or consoles to an entire expanded range of finished interiors for living and dining rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, offices and walk-in closets, etc. However one major thing always remained constant and that is quality as the furniture still got manufactured from natural materials only and as per the time tested proven traditional technologies perfected by the family over many years.
