De Jorio Design Swiss

What De Jorio Design Swiss does

De Jorio Design Swiss (legal entity DE JORIO DESIGN SWISS S.A., CHE-386.096.610) is a privately held Swiss boutique design studio headquartered at Via S. Calloni 1A in Lugano, operating as the Swiss arm of the DE JORIO group founded by Giuseppe De Jorio in 1956 in Italy and restructured under its current Swiss corporate form around 2010. The firm operates with a 7-person team and is led by Marco De Jorio as Founder and CEO, with Jasmine Molinari as primary contact.

The company delivers bespoke interior and exterior design services across three core verticals: cruise ships (60+ years of expertise, with focus on passenger experience and architectural coherence), luxury megayachts (tailor-made interior and exterior design, including the 83.7-meter hybrid Mega Yacht JUPITER prototype developed with Mariotti), and high-end residential interiors (from concept through final realization, exemplified by the Villa Palm Jumeirah project in Dubai). It also offers art curation services through partnerships with galleries such as Deodato Arte, integrating artwork selection into interior projects.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional services engagements on a quote basis; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is consultative and relationship-driven, anchored by named enterprise partnerships with Mariotti (Italian shipbuilder), Molteni (Italian luxury furniture), BeSpace Group (Swiss real estate developer), Deodato Arte (art gallery), and laCividina (furniture manufacturer). Distribution combines direct enterprise sales with industry event presence (Blue Design Summit, Andy Warhol Art Night, Design Cocktail events), Instagram-driven organic social, and a downloadable digital catalog. The studio uses proprietary 3D and 4D virtual simulations to present projects to clients pre-realization. Operating geographies include Switzerland, Italy, and the UAE (Dubai).
