Italian Design Professionals

Esperiri Milano was founded in Milan in 2016 by Rachele Pellegatta and Alberto Quinteri, building on over 50 years of family experience in the Italian furniture industry, with an idea to find an easier way of sharing Italian know-how and Made in Italy with the world. Since the 1970s, the family had offered these services mainly to clients in Italy and to a few international buyers who came to Milan. Esperiri was created to take them further, to clients all over the world.

Our Mission …

“We are dedicated to providing international clients with easy, efficient access to Italian home design and architecture knowledge together with Italian craftsmanship, and high-quality industrial design. Our main goal is to inspire people with Italian beauty and provide the service such as the Best Italian Interior Designers.”

The objective of Esperiri is to share this beauty with the world through home interiors.

Italian Interior Designers: Frequently Asked Questions

Who founded Esperiri Milano, and what is their background?

Esperiri Milano was founded in 2016 by Rachele Pellegatta and Alberto Quinteri. Rachele, an architect and interior designer, studied architecture at the Accademia di Mendrisio under Mario Botta, then in Paris, and has designed interiors in Hong Kong, Budapest, Jeddah and Dallas, as well as country homes in Tuscany’s Val d’Orcia. Alberto brings a decade of business development in Italian high-end furniture and follows Esperiri’s relationships with clients and Italian furniture manufacturers.

Why has Esperiri chosen to dedicate itself to the home?

At Esperiri, we believe few things matter as much as home. It is the place we return to, where everyday life and memories take shape, and it deserves the same care as any great work of design. Our purpose is to bring the Italian way of living, and the craftsmanship behind it, into homes around the world.

What level of care can I expect from Esperiri's team?

Esperiri works with attention to detail, uncompromising quality and the time each decision deserves. We would rather take an extra week to find the right finish than rush a choice you will live with for years. These convictions are summed up in our three values: Quality, Integrity and Beauty.

What experience does Esperiri bring to a project of this level?

Esperiri draws on three generations of family experience in the Italian furniture and construction industry, rooted in Milan and Brianza, and on more than 50 years of relationships with Italian design brands. This heritage gives us a deep knowledge of materials, furniture manufacturers and production methods, and direct access to the people behind every piece.

What does the name Esperiri mean?

esperiri.livees from the Latin experior: “I experience, I try, I do.” The name reflects how we work. Our clients do not simply receive a design: they live the process, from touching materials in our Milan studio to meeting the artisans who make their furniture.
