Giorgetti Spiga – The Place opens in Milan’s fashion quarter
The new Giorgetti Spiga – The Place transforms a 17th-century palazzo in Milan, showcasing the furniture company's full offering over four floors
In the heart of Milan's bustling quadrilateral, where high-end fashion and art galleries converge, a new world of wonder has emerged. Giorgetti, with its 125-year history of innovation and design, has unveiled a treasure trove at the stylish Via della Spiga 31, fittingly named The Place.
Palazzo Giorgetti, a 17th-century architectural masterpiece with a 19th-century façade, has been transformed into a haven of bespoke beauty, drawing visitors in to explore the brand's unparalleled world.
Giorgetti Spiga – The Place
The new space reflects the company’s values, with each detail crafted to create an ambience that exudes sophistication and elegance. The refined finishes and iconic pieces punctuate the rooms, while sculptures and works of art from Oblong Contemporary Art Gallery and Brun Fine Art, together with books selected by art director Giancarlo Bosio, impart an air of sophistication to the space. This location serves as the perfect backdrop for Giorgetti’s bespoke projects.
Designed to be a meeting point, Giorgetta Spiga – The Place has four floors, displaying the brand's commitment to quality, care, and uniqueness. Visitors will feel transported to an enchanted domestic setting as they stroll through each floor. The street-facing ground floor, with its expansive windows and high ceilings, showcases the latest collections.
Visitors are invited to explore Giorgetti's bespoke projects, created in collaboration with Battaglia, a company that Giorgetti acquired in 2018. The first and second floors boast parquet floors that showcase the firm's craftsmanship and attention to detail, and host pieces such as the ‘Vesper’ sofa by Roberto Lazzeroni and the ‘Miyabi’ walk-in wardrobe.
On the third floor, visitors can step into the ideal Giorgetti office, complete with the ‘Urban’ sofa by Carlo Colombo and ‘Aura’ armchairs by Umberto Asnago, as well as a host of other objects. On the same floor is a terrace, a place for alternative business meetings.
A stunning indoor marble staircase, featuring slices of six varieties of marble, leads to the fourth floor, an attic reserved for offices, where Giorgetti's creativity is brought to life.
