Black Tie was established in 2011 in Vicenza’s design district by our visionary founder, Pier Luigi Frighetto. An eclectic designer and tireless researcher, he instilled his infinite experience and passion for high-quality upholstered furniture and tapestry in the company. Black Tie was born from the desire to elevate authentic Italian craftsmanship, which is slowly fading away, swallowed up by the dynamics of the global market. We accomplish this by participating in carefully selected international showrooms that share the same vision. These exclusive locations showcase and make our creations available on the US market.

The sofa: keeper of moments of contemplation, playground of shared laughter, the sartorial soul of your living room. Black Tie started with the sofa and expanded to a broader philosophy of living with exclusive furnishing accessories that create perfect synergies.

Care, dedication, craftsmanship.

One table. One team. A one-of-a-kind piece.

This is the starting point of all our projects: a table and a team sitting around it. Together, we imagine the space, touch the fabrics, feel the sensations, and ideas take shape. Time and again ideas change. Sometimes they are put aside and later picked up again. They are rearranged. They are fully embraced. That’s how a project is born, amongst creativity, logic, and meticulous attention to detail. That is how all unique, one-of-a-kind Black Tie pieces come into being.
