Black Tie is an Italian premium brand for home furnishings and decorative objects, founded in 2011 by Pierluigi Frighetto (also: Pier Luigi Frighetto) — an experienced upholstered furniture entrepreneur and researcher — in the Vicenza district, traditionally known for its leather goods and furniture craft expertise. The name is cosmopolitan; the product is 100% Italian in spirit and manufacture. Tone: authentic beauty and recognisable Deco style — elegance that does not shout but whispers; sumptuousness as a character trait, not a statement. Core philosophy: short, controlled local supply chain, local craft partners; every piece a unique item, fully customised to customer wishes. Every product is entirely handcrafted. Black Tie sees itself as an advocate for the most authentic Made in Italy — the craft excellence that risks disappearing in the logic of mass production.
Materials and aesthetics: velvet, fine embroideries, walnut, woven leathers, gold and bronze accents — materials that belong more to a private collection than a standard catalogue. Range: sofas, armchairs, tables, decorative objects, accessories. Customisation: finishes, dimensions and tactile qualities of all products adjustable. Market positioning: discerning international design market, Wunderkammer culture, demanding clientele with affinity for Made in Italy.
For interior designers and commissioners seeking exclusive one-off pieces in a Deco aesthetic, Black Tie is the most discreetly positioned premium brand from the Vicenza district — entirely handcrafted, strictly locally anchored and oriented towards uncompromising customisation.
