MisuraEmme is a historic Italian design brand founded in 1902 in Mariano Comense, in the heart of Brianza, by Giovanni Mascheroni. For over a century, the company has been one of the most significant players in the furniture sector, offering products that combine craftsmanship, innovation and industrial quality. MisuraEmme’s catalog includes solutions for living and sleeping areas, modular systems, seating and furnishing accessories, as well as a section dedicated to the contract sector. The brand’s commitment to customization and its deep roots in the Brianza territory are reflected in every project, where design meets the manufacturing culture of Made in Italy. Originally a craft workshop, MisuraEmme has evolved into a structured industrial entity over the years, while maintaining its strong connection with Brianza’s woodworking tradition. In 1970, with the arrival of a new generation led by Tiziana Mascheroni, the company adopted its current name and consolidated its path in contemporary furniture design. Today, it operates a production site of over 35,000 m² entirely based in Italy, confirming a controlled supply chain and an approach that merges technological innovation with artisanal savoir-faire.
MisuraEmme collections: modular systems, custom-made furnishings and signature design
MisuraEmme continues to be one of the most authoritative players in Made in Italy design, able to combine heritage and innovation, manufacturing tradition and contemporary vision. Each collection is the result of a balance between technological research, material quality and attention to design needs—a synthesis that fully expresses the value of Italian design worldwide. MisuraEmme's production stands out for its breadth and stylistic coherence. The brand offers day and night systems—wardrobes, walk-in closets, beds, bookcases, wall units, tables and seating—as well as sofas, armchairs and accessories. All furnishings are distinguished by a strong design component and high customization potential, in line with the "one-to-one" approach that has always defined the company. Among the most iconic collections are the Palo Alto system, which reinterprets the wardrobe as an architectural and structural element of the space, and the Crossing bookcases, emblematic examples of modularity, visual lightness and technological research. Alongside contemporary products, MisuraEmme preserves its historical heritage with catalog items such as the Elegie bookcase by Ignazio Gardella (1949) and the AR1 serving trolley by Alfred Roth (1939), reflecting the continuity between tradition and innovation. The brand collaborates with prominent designers and architects, including Ferruccio Laviani, Mauro Lipparini, Luca Scacchetti, Marelli & Molteni and, in the past, Alvar Aalto. These partnerships have helped shape a recognizable aesthetic language—essential and sophisticated—capable of combining formal rigor with functional flexibility.
Design, sustainability and innovation in MisuraEmme furnishings
Over the decades, MisuraEmme has built an identity based on research, quality materials and production flexibility, becoming an international benchmark for custom-made design. The brand’s constant participation in the Salone del Mobile in Milan since its earliest editions, and an export rate exceeding 85% of total production, underscore the company’s strength and global focus. Its drive for innovation is also reflected in its production processes. MisuraEmme was the first company in the industry to adopt a MOS technology painting system, which uses water-based products to ensure high quality standards and reduced environmental impact. This approach led to the achievement of the Aquaver® mark issued by ANVER, a certification of the brand’s commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. In 2014, MisuraEmme was awarded the Grandesign Etico prize for the TAO 10 system by Mauro Lipparini, a further recognition of its alignment of ethics, innovation and design excellence. Attention to detail, the use of premium materials—wood, natural stone, glass—and the ability to combine finishes and textures make each product unique and recognizable. The same philosophy guides its contract projects, where the brand develops tailor-made solutions for hotels, hospitality facilities, lounges and public spaces, always with the goal of offering functional, refined environments aligned with the client’s identity.
