INTERVIEW

Marco Chiodelli Bussandri, co-founder and president of Chiodelli Arte, has luxury ingrained in his family DNA. Descended from a dynasty that has kept alive the elegance of Venetian and Italian classical-style furniture for over a century, he is a connoisseur of arts and crafts, the foundation of artistic manufacturing.

How important is it to be born and raised in an environment where everything speaks of quality and elegance?
“You develop a sensitivity for materials, shapes, combinations, and style,” says Marco Chiodelli Bussandri. “It’s something that is rarely acquired and impossible to improvise.”

Today, Chiodelli Arte is synonymous with elegance and prestige. Its furnishings and luxurious interiors are recognizable for their attention to detail, the pairing of essences, precious materials, and colors. The woods are crafted into exquisite forms, and the lines are predominantly classic. The Venetian style strongly influences the company’s repertoire, creating a timeless charm.

“Our brand is imprinted on every piece, and each piece becomes a personal affair,” emphasizes Marco Chiodelli Bussandri. “This is the true meaning of bespoke for us and what we offer our clients: perfection and lasting value.”

From its headquarters in Veneto, in Northeast Italy, Chiodelli Arte sets the rules of style. Thanks to its artisans, the company never strays from its clear vision of bespoke luxury, entirely Made in Italy.

You propose luxury in everyday life—what does that mean?
“It’s not merely about the desire to stand out,” he clarifies, “but rather about the desire to be the best version of oneself and to surround oneself with things that bring joy, to take pleasure in the spaces where one lives. For this reason,” he continues, “we constantly experiment with how to combine classic style with our clients’ tastes for extreme personalization.”

The portfolio of creations is a tribute to beauty and what truly matters. It flirts between fine arts and the most exclusive craftsmanship. “International projects abound and reinforce our ability to cater to individual tastes, even in vastly different cultural and environmental contexts. Each piece is influenced by its surroundings, and our creations keep the owners in mind. You could say our projects are inspired one-third by our catalog, one-third by classic style, and one-third by personalization. Although people are often concerned about others’ opinions, what we want is for personal style to emerge,” he emphasizes.

“Everyone should respect their individuality and their sense of style.”

In short, buy because it pleases you.
