Eco Design

What Eco Design does

Eco Design srl is an Italian B2B manufacturer and service provider, founded in 1991 and headquartered in Corlo di Formigine in the Modena province, operating from two production facilities within the Sassuolo Ceramic District. The company designs, fabricates, and installs custom display systems in metal and wood, trade fair exhibition stands, and complete showroom fit-outs. Its primary customer base consists of manufacturers of ceramic tiles, marble, stone, parquet, sanitary ware, and taps, with a heavy skew toward Italian brands in the Sassuolo district and a smaller roster of international accounts served via worldwide assembly capability.

The product range covers book-style, sliding, extractable, drawer, and slab display configurations engineered for formats from 60x60 cm up to 180x360 cm, alongside bespoke furniture collections (e.g., New York, Tokyo) and end-to-end showroom design executed by an in-house multidisciplinary team of architects, designers, and engineers. The 2023 BOOK.6 catalogue formalizes the standard range, while trade fair presence at Cersaie (Italy), Coverings (USA), and Cevisama (Spain) anchors the international commercial footprint. Membership in Confindustria Ceramica institutionalizes the firm's position within the Italian ceramic industry.

The business model is project-based B2B, with custom quote-driven pricing, bespoke contracts per client, and revenue tied to enterprise customers' showroom rollouts and event marketing cycles. Repeat engagement with named flagship brands across multiple years and events indicates a relationship-driven, specification-led sales motion rather than transactional volume sales. No revenue, headcount, or funding data is disclosed in the source material.
