What Atelier Nieri Srl does

Atelier Nieri Srl is a fourth-generation Italian family-owned manufacturer of high-end, made-to-measure upholstered furniture, founded in 1929 in Quarrata, Tuscany, and currently led by Lorenzo Nieri with Maurizio Nieri as creative director. The company operates from a single headquarters and manufacturing site in Quarrata, with an eight-person core team and no institutional external capital.

Its product portfolio centers on luxury sofas (Divani) and armchairs (Poltrone), spanning more than 40 named models including Archibald, Gregory, Anastasia, Tancredi, Marilyn, and others, many featuring memory foam seating technology. The firm also operates a custom 3D interior design service that produces photorealistic renderings from customer floor plans, and maintains a reserved 3D Area where authorized partners can download MAX and OBJ product models. A flagship special edition, the 499P collection, was co-developed with Ferrari Club Italia (limited to 50 pieces per element) and reserved for Ferrari Club Italia members.

Atelier Nieri monetizes through one-time sales of made-to-measure furniture priced on a quote basis (no public pricing), distributed via a global authorized dealer network across 60 countries, direct sales at its Quarrata showroom, its own e-commerce site (nieriofficialstore.it), and the company-owned Nieri Official Store opened in Quarrata in October 2024. Go-to-market relies heavily on international trade fairs (Salone del Mobile Milano, Esprit Meuble Paris, Foire de Paris, METZ International Fair), brand events such as the annual Gran Galà delle Eccellenze del Made in Italy, and collection launches with media and celebrity presence. The customer base is anchored on luxury residential consumers, with supporting segments of interior designers/architects, authorized dealers, and the exclusive Ferrari Club Italia vertical for the 499P line.
