Smart home
A young family approached us with a clear vision and an equally clear problem: they had found their dream location in Piedmont, engaged an architect, and produced a detailed interior concept — but had no procurement infrastructure to bring it to life.
Sourcing furniture, lighting, kitchen, sanitary ware, outdoor pieces and décor across multiple Italian and European manufacturers, coordinating delivery to a lakeside address, managing customs from Switzerland — and integrating a smart home system that wouldn't compromise the aesthetic.All of it needed to happen under one roof.That's where we came in.
Furniture, lighting, kitchen, bathroom, outdoor, textiles, accessories and art objects. Single consolidated specification, one point of contact, one timeline.
Export documentation, customs clearance Switzerland → Italy, white-glove delivery coordination with local installers on-site.
Three custom pieces required non-standard finishes and direct factory negotiation: staircase metal elements, master bathroom freestanding tub surround, and a made-to-order kitchen island top in Calacatta marble.
Ajax security system and KNX lighting scenes integrated at project stage — not retrofitted. Programmed and commissioned in coordination with the local electrician.
The project had a strong design identity from the start: natural materials, regional references, a deliberate tension between the comfort of contemporary living and the soul of a northern Italian villa. Our role was not to reinterpret the concept — it was to protect it through procurement.
Every specification was reviewed for lead times before confirmation. Where standard lead times would have broken the installation schedule, we sourced alternatives or secured production slots directly with factories. Where the architect's original specification wasn't available in the required finish, we coordinated samples, mock-ups and approvals without interrupting the project flow.
The staircase — the home's defining architectural accent — required particular attention. The metalwork was produced by a specialist fabricator in Brianza; the timber treads sourced from a Venetian mill. Both deliveries were scheduled to arrive on-site within the same 48-hour window.
The window bath
The freestanding bathtub in the master bathroom needed to be positioned precisely beneath a structural window opening — which meant the piece had to be confirmed before the window frame was finalised. We coordinated measurements between the sanitary ware supplier, the architect and the site contractor across three countries in real time.
The terrace threshold
The client's priority was a seamless flow between interior and terrace. This required the outdoor furniture to be specified in parallel with the interior flooring — both had to meet at the same finish level and visual temperature. We managed both scopes simultaneously to ensure the materials arrived on the same installation week.
The family moved in on schedule. Every piece arrived as specified. The staircase is exactly what the architect drew.The bathtub faces the lake.

"We had worked with procurement intermediaries before. The difference here was accountability — one person who knew every item, every deadline, every problem before it became one. The project didn't feel likea supply chain. It felt managed."
