Billiani 1911 Salone’s Novelties

At Salone del Mobile 2025, Billiani 1911 returns to Milan with a bold yet refined vision, celebrating its legacy of craftsmanship while opening a new chapter rooted in innovation and material exploration. The historic Friulian brand presents a curated collection that blends timeless woodworking with expressive contemporary gestures, culminating in the highly anticipated launch of Stack, a modular coffee table system designed by Niccolò Devetag.

A playful interplay of glass, geometry, and light, Stack introduces a dynamic, sculptural language into Billiani’s catalog. The project, which marks Devetag’s first collaboration with the brand, embraces modularity and transparency through blown glass elements that stack intuitively. As CEO Luigi Billiani notes, “Stack represents an important step in the company’s evolution: not only does it mark the beginning of a collaboration with a talent like Niccolò Devetag, but it also opens new material and formal possibilities, bringing blown glass to the center of a modular, surprising, and contemporary project.”

Building on this momentum, Billiani’s 2025 lineup reinterprets heritage through a fresh and expressive palette. Babà, designed by longtime collaborator Emilio Nanni, channels the softness of the Neapolitan dessert into enveloping, architectural seating forms, an embodiment of comfort, memory, and Italian charm.

“The new collections are born from a deep dialogue between memory and contemporaneity,” says Luigi Billiani. “We have explored lighter, fresher, younger forms alongside richer, more decorative projects. Wood remains our core material, but today it is blended with weaves, textiles, and new colors to give life to pieces that tell stories of hospitality, culture, and timeless beauty.”

Highlights include Cortina by Fabrizio Gallinaro, which updates the classic alpine chair with sinuous Scandinavian lines, and Stella by Matteo Ragni, expanded with a lounge and stool, each defined by its signature star-shaped backrest.

In a rich chromatic symphony- from earthy neutrals to vibrant hues- the brand showcases Harry’s by Luigi Billiani, Raquette and Corolla by Cristina Celestino, and Fleuron by Constance Guisset. These pieces reflect a growing desire for tactile warmth, decorative precision, and welcoming silhouettes.
