Saglietti Group

What Saglietti Group does

Saglietti Group, legally constituted as Studio Arredi Srl, is an Italian bespoke woodworking and contract design firm headquartered in Narzole (Cuneo, Piedmont) with a production facility in Novello. Founded in 1978 and claiming over a century of accumulated artisanal experience, the company operates through three sub-brands: Design Hub (prototyping and product development), Esposit (modular interlocking wooden display systems), and Studio Arredi (custom interior furnishings). Core capabilities span custom furniture for residential and hospitality, museum and exhibition installations, trade show booths, and office/industrial fit-outs, executed using CNC pantograph cutting, laser cutting, 3D parametric design, and proprietary expertise in complex curved wood, fire-retardant treatments, and millimeter-precision assembly in challenging environments including high-altitude sites such as the Skyway Monte Bianco at 2,173 meters. The company's exclusive "Brandpatia" method guides projects from concept through production, and the firm maintains a portfolio of self-developed products including the StarsBOX micro-architecture, Babymoto wooden balance bikes (under license with Ducati), the Casattava children's desk, and the Esposit modular display line (Leon Table, Tango Mini, Cubotto, Scacco Matto).

The business operates on a project-based professional services model with direct B2B sales targeting architects, designers, brands, cultural institutions, and hospitality operators across Italy and selectively in France. Revenue is generated through custom quotation contracts (multi-year cycles for recurring clients), supplemented by hardware sales of the Esposit branded product line and royalty/licensing arrangements such as the Ducati Babymoto collaboration. Notable customers include Ekinex, Pasta Berruto, Albertengo Panettoni, Consorzio Albeisa, Collectivité de Corse, Fondazione CRC, Circolo del Design, Mode Hotel, and Libellula, with several relationships spanning multiple years. Strategic partnerships with architecture firm Officina82 and machine tools company Famar Group underpin the project pipeline. The firm is led by CEO Simone Saglietti and is privately held with no disclosed external funding, operating as a small 11-employee workshop supported by a flexible subcontractor network typical of Italian contract manufacturing.

Go-to-market is field-driven enterprise sales supported by content marketing through a bilingual (Italian/English) website and blog, active social channels on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, and industry event participation. Distribution is concentrated in Europe with primary domestic activity in Italy and select international project execution in France. Pricing is fully custom with no publicly disclosed rates, and project delivery emphasizes timeline adherence, brand-narrative coherence, and environmental considerations such as reusable modular systems. The company has accumulated multiple international design awards including the Red Dot Design Award 2019, Archiproducts Design Award 2021, BIG SEE Tourism Design Award 2021, BIG SEE Wood Design Award 2020, FSC Design Award, and BIG SEE Architecture Award 2026, which collectively validate its positioning in the premium bespoke contract segment.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Pedrali: Italian contract furniture manufacturer specializing in contemporary pieces for hospitality, office and public spaces. Pedrali aligns with Saglietti's contract-custom furniture offering for offices and hospitality customers but competes with a much larger catalog and production base.
• Cassina: Iconic Italian design furniture manufacturer with a portfolio spanning residential and contract projects worldwide. Cassina overlaps with Saglietti on architect/designer-led custom commissions and Italian design prestige, but at materially larger scale and brand reach.
• B&B Italia: Italian high-end design furniture maker serving residential, hospitality and office markets. B&B Italia is comparable to Saglietti as an Italian design-led brand targeting architects and designers, but operates at significantly larger volume and an international distribution footprint.
• Poltrona Frau: Italian luxury furniture brand with broad residential, office and contract offerings. As a larger incumbent with much wider scale and dedicated contract divisions, Poltrona Frau is comparable to Saglietti at the high-end Italian craftsmanship and international prestige tier but serves a much broader market.

Direct peers

• Riva 1920: Italian solid-wood custom furniture manufacturer specializing in FSC-certified, handcrafted pieces for residential and contract projects. Riva 1920 is comparable to Saglietti's Studio Arredi custom-wood offering, with similar artisanal positioning and supply chain emphasis on sustainable Italian wood.
• Lema: Italian premium furniture maker serving both residential and high-end contract (hospitality, office) with custom systems and modular solutions. Lema directly parallels Saglietti's split between residential custom furniture and contract/interior fit-out projects for enterprise clients.
• Goppion: Italian manufacturer of high-security museum display cases and exhibition installations for institutions worldwide. Goppion is the closest direct comparable to Saglietti's cultural-institution and exhibition-installation work, combining custom craftsmanship with technical display engineering for museums.
• Porada: Italian luxury wood-furniture maker focused on finely crafted indoor pieces combining traditional cabinetmaking with contemporary design. Porada mirrors Saglietti's blend of generational craftsmanship and modern product development for premium residential and contract customers.
• Pianca: Italian custom furniture manufacturer producing modular and made-to-measure pieces for residential and contract interiors. Pianca's project-based, design-led manufacturing aligns closely with Saglietti's bespoke approach to interior furnishings and architectural commissions.

Regional players

• Team 7: Austrian custom solid-wood furniture maker producing individually made-to-order pieces for kitchens, living, and sleeping spaces. Team 7 is comparable to Saglietti in artisanal wood-craftsmanship positioning, though primarily residential rather than museum/installation work.
