Moda Interni Brings Turri’s 100-Year Legacy of Italian Design to the Philippines
Good design endures the test of time. This was the spirit celebrated during a recent two-day event hosted by Moda Interni at its Quezon City showroom, led by Goldwin Sison, President of Moda Interni, and Luca Meduri, APAC Sales Director of Turri. The event honored a century of Italian design excellence. Since 1925, Turri has collaborated with master craftsmen, visionary designers, and discerning homeowners in Italy, establishing a legacy synonymous with artisanal excellence, innovation, and timeless artistry.
Recognized worldwide as a hallmark of “Made in Italy,” Turri exemplifies a philosophy of living that transforms spaces into enduring works of art. The celebration highlighted the brand’s remarkable heritage and its growing relevance to Filipino homeowners who value design, meticulous detail, and lasting quality.
A Century of Designer-Led Excellence
For 100 years, Turri has distinguished itself through meaningful collaborations with renowned designers and master craftsmen. Each collection, rooted in artistic vision and narrative depth, resulting in furniture that transcends mere functionality. Notable award-winning collaborators include Paoloa Navone, Matteo Nunziati, Monica Armani, and Marco Acerbis, among others.
While steadfast in its commitment to exceptional quality, Turri continues to evolve with contemporary design trends. “This approach brings fresh perspectives and innovation, blending the brand’s craftsmanship with contemporary ideas,” shared Meduri. “Collaborating with external talent ensures unique, recognizable products that balance heritage and modernity while maintaining Turri’s distinct identity.” Each collaborator, carefully selected for technical mastery, originality, and shared values, ensuring every collection meets Turri’s standards and results in pieces that remain relevant and refined for years.
The Human Touch of Italian Craftsmanship
In an era dominated by automation, Turri continues to champion the human element of design, elevating heritage techniques rather than replacing them. Its hand-decorated lacquered wood reflects this commitment, a meticulous craft that yields refined finishes and enduring detail. The same precision defines Turri’s fine leather processing, rooted in Italy’s tradition of exceptional leatherwork. From exacting stitching to woven leather collections such as the Net Collection by Matteo Nunziati, each element executed by hand.
This artisanal rigor is fundamental for Turri. “The bespoke approach is central to the brand: every piece can be custom-made in both dimensions and finishes, perfectly adapting to the client’s space, style, and preferences,” shared Meduri. “The combination of innovative design, handcrafted techniques, and attention to detail produces items that embody quality, durability, and uniqueness.” Through this approach, Turri creates highly personalized pieces built to last and thoughtfully suited to the modern Filipino home.
Enduring Quality Through Material Innovation
For Turri, craftsmanship extends beyond aesthetics to the integrity of every material and construction detail. They embrace a multi-material craftsmanship approach, combining wood, metal, glass, marble, and other curated finishes to achieve structural strength and visual balance. This complexity demands exceptional skill, ensuring each piece meets the highest standards of precision.
From meticulous joinery to hand-finished surfaces, every element reflects durability and tailored design. “In a market where many competitors compete solely on price, Turri’s combination of durability, bespoke design, and obsessive care for detail offers tangible, lasting value that justifies the investment,” shared Sison.
A Shared Commitment to the Elevated Filipino Lifestyle
Turri’s century of artistry now resonates in the Philippines through its partnership with Moda Interni, where Italian heritage meets modern and contemporary Filipino living. Both deliver bespoke design experiences guided by craftsmanship, innovation, and an understanding of how Filipinos live today.
The partnership is founded on shared values and a long-term vision. While Turri brings a hundred years of design mastery, Moda Interni contributes local insight and cultural nuance. “Bringing Turri to the Philippines means offering our clients access to a century of artistry, innovation, and uncompromising craftsmanship,” shared Sison. “It is both a tribute to Turri’s legacy and a commitment to delivering exceptional design experiences that inspire and endure for generations.” Together, they shape spaces that are refined, meaningful, and distinctly attuned to the modern Filipino home.
