Summer Lunch Series
This summer, we're hosting a series of lunches at the Salone showroom dedicated to some of Italy's most celebrated furniture brands. Join us for an afternoon of conversation, Italian fare, and an opportunity to experience these collections up close alongside the people who know them best.
Edra • June 30, 12pm
Since 1987, Edra has been creating some of the most distinctive furniture to come out of Tuscany. Working with designers including Francesco Binfaré and the Campana studio, the company makes pieces that blur the line between furniture and art. Edra is best experienced in person, where its extraordinary comfort is often as surprising as its appearance.

Flexform • July 14, 12pm
Flexform is a favorite among architects, designers, and those who appreciate the quieter side of luxury. Founded in Meda, at the heart of Italy's furniture-making region, the family-owned company has spent decades refining a vision of comfort, elegance, and timeless design, producing pieces that feel as relevant today as they will be years from now.

Cappellini & Zanotta • July 29, 12pm
Few brands have done more to shape contemporary Italian design than Cappellini and Zanotta. Cappellini has long been known for spotting exceptional talent early, helping launch the careers of designers such as Jasper Morrison and Tom Dixon, while continuing to champion new voices today.
Zanotta, founded in 1954, occupies an equally important place in design history, with a catalogue that includes icons such as the Sacco beanbag and numerous classics by the Castiglioni brothers. Together, the two brands tell a fascinating story of Italian design.
