Made in Italy

Bostonians embrace a “dolce vita” lifestyle when curating their interiors with Adige Design.

From art to design, Italian artisans are renowned for their traditional craftsmanship, backed by centuries-old techniques. The opportunity to work with small family-owned companies can seem inconceivable from Boston—until one meets Adige Design. ­The European material sourcing and custom design company offers exclusive access to the finest materials and master artisans, welcoming clients to see their dream designs jump out of the sketch and into their spaces. Here, Director of Design Federica De Biase dishes on the company’s rare approach and commitment to Italian craftsmanship.

What makes Adige Design’s work so unique?

Adige Design stands out due to its blend of traditional Italian craftsmanship with innovative contemporary design. We travel all around Italy to discover skilled Italian artisans—many of whom are not represented in the U.S.—to offer our clients high-quality materials, ensuring unparalleled quality, customization and attention to detail.

How would you describe the Adige Design experience for clients in three words?

Tailored, bespoke and artisanal.

What makes Italian artisan made pieces so exceptional?

Artisan-crafted “Made in Italy” pieces are renowned for their meticulous craftsmanship, intricate detailing and use of premium materials… The creation process often involves traditional techniques passed down through generations, ensuring that every item is not only beautiful but also imbued with a rich cultural heritage and a story of its own. 

Why is sustainability important to Adige Design?

Sustainability is vital to Adige Design because it reflects our commitment to preserving the environment and supporting ethical craftsmanship. By adopting sustainable practices, we not only reduce our ecological footprint but also ensure that future generations can continue to enjoy the beauty of Italian artistry. 

Can you talk about Adige Design’s sustainable practices?

Our artisans prioritize the use of renewable materials and environmentally friendly practices in their production processes, such as only sourcing wood from PEFC or FSC-certified forests and using AISI 316L stainless steel, which is a 100% recyclable, nonharmful material in the production of our bathroom faucets.

Why should people choose Adige Design?

To experience hands-on, unparalleled dedication to quality, customization and timeless designs. Our bespoke pieces are crafted with passion and precision, reflecting the unique vision of each client.
