Diemmebi

What Diemmebi does

Diemmebi S.p.A. Società Benefit is an Italian contract furniture manufacturer founded in 1983 and headquartered in Vittorio Veneto, Italy. The company designs, produces, and sells chairs, tables, and complementary accessories for three end-environments: community interiors, urban/public spaces, and domestic contract settings. Production is fully carried out in-house in Italy, with the company explicitly positioning itself as 100% Made in Italy and holding ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environmental management), Remade in Italy, FSC, and Ecometal certifications. Since 2019 it has also produced furniture components using certified recycled plastic.

The commercial model is primarily B2B project-based sales to dealers, contract purchasers, design studios, construction firms, and public bodies, with a secondary direct-to-consumer channel for individual buyers. Distribution is supported through both the core Diemmebi brand and the URBANTIME sub-brand, which addresses outdoor and street-furniture applications. Design is a core input: the company maintains long-running collaborations with named external designers including Martin Ballendat, Basaglia+Rota Nodari, SandonàBettini, and Angelo Pinaffo, and holds a formal partnership with the Achille Castiglioni Foundation for access to the Castiglioni design archive. Products have received Red Dot, GOOD DESIGN, iF Design, and ADI Design Index recognitions.

Governance has shifted toward stakeholder-oriented structures: the company adopted Italy's Model 231 compliance regime in 2019 and converted to a Società Benefit in 2021, embedding statutory non-financial purpose. It has been selected as an SME EnterPRIZE 2026 winner by the European Commission. Revenue, headcount, and ownership are not publicly disclosed; the firm is bootstrapped with €1,500,000 in share capital. International expansion is signalled through recurring presence at Salone del Mobile Milano, Orgatec, Interzum, and IMM Cologne.
