Luigi Billiani

Luigi Billiani represents the third generation of the family company founded in 1911 in Manzano, and is named after his grandfather, its founder. Trained as an architect, he joined the business in the 1980s, and towards the end of the 1990s he and his wife Veronik Romanutti created today’s design-led Billiani.

He also designs some of the collections himself. Harry’s (2024) takes the proportions of the chairs at Harry’s Bar in Venice and adds hand-woven cord, Flow (2024) blends Italian tradition with 1950s and 1960s Scandinavian style, and Ibisco (2026) reinterprets a 1970s design in solid beech.
