Mycore

What Mycore does

Mycore is an Italian designer and manufacturer of premium roller blind systems, headquartered in Collalto, Tarcento (province of Udine, Friuli Venezia Giulia), operating commercially under the Mycore brand through its parent entity G.S. S.r.l. Founded in 2005, the company produces 100% Made-in-Italy made-to-measure blinds across concealed (Phantom, Groove), wall-mounted (Quaver Wall, Trej Wall), ceiling-mounted (Quaver Top, Simply Top, Flexi Top), suspended (Ekstro), adaptive (Flexy Wall), safety-compliant (Finespin), and outdoor (Open Air) installation types, plus the 2023 Piero Lissoni Designer Collection (Hyper, Leeway, Shard). Core proprietary technology centers on the patented Phantom concealed roller blind system — which disappears entirely into a suspended ceiling through a thin slit and is offered in One on One, Double, and Angle variants — complemented by battery-operated radiofrequency motors hidden inside the roller tube, Finelink home automation integration via a 7-inch touch panel, and a certified fabric library covering blackout, filtering, sound-absorbing, fire-resistant, printable, recyclable PET, and Greenguard Gold options.

The company serves three primary customer segments through an indirect sales model: architects, interior designers, and project specifiers (who drive product selection); an authorized retailer and Top Retailer showroom network across 11 European countries including Italy, Germany, Austria, Belgium, France, Spain, Latvia, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Slovakia, and Russia (who handle sales, measurement, and installation); and end customers in the high-end residential and premium commercial contract market (who are typically directed to retailers by architects). Named enterprise references span banking (Banca Popolare di Cividale, 250+ units), grocery retail (Végé Group), research and academia (CNR–University of Bologna, 90+ units), luxury fashion (Viareggio boutique, Arezzo creative office), hospitality (Villaverde Hotel & Resort), automotive (German OEM Regensburg campus), and maritime (Ferretti Group at Cannes Yachting Festival).

Mycore generates revenue through one-time sales of custom-made roller blind systems, fabrics, motors, and accessories, with no public pricing disclosed and all quotations handled on a project-specific basis via the 'Digital Window' online technical consultancy. The company pursues a B2B specification-driven GTM, leveraging flagship showroom placements (De Padova-Boffi Milan, Ecker Studio Vienna), presence on the Architonic marketplace (~16 million users annually), participation in Milan Design Week and Salone del Mobile, and a content-rich website with downloadable catalogs and a fabric selector. Distribution is exclusively through authorized dealers and Top Retailers; Mycore does not sell direct to consumers. Pricing is bespoke and quote-based; product differentiation rests on patented concealed systems, exclusive designer collaborations, and certified technical fabrics.
