Partnership between Engel & Völkers and Alessandro Bini – Tessuti d’Italia: a new vision of luxury living is born
Tailor-made interior design, local culture and sartorial quality converge in a partnership that celebrates Made in Italy and elevates the living experience.
The new partnership between Engel & Völkers Italia and Alessandro Bini – Tessuti d’Italia marks a significant step forward in the enhancement of contemporary living. Two leading names in their respective industries – high-end real estate and custom Italian textile design – have come together to create residential and contract projects that blend aesthetics, functionality, and cultural identity.
The collaboration originates in Florence, a city renowned as the cradle of the Renaissance and a living laboratory where art, heritage and innovation naturally intersect. This shared vision is built on core values such as attention to detail, sustainability, sartorial design and premium hospitality – and looks confidently to the future.
“The partnership with Engel & Völkers offers a concrete opportunity to combine our expertise and propose a new vision of luxury—one based on authenticity, performance materials and respect for a space’s identity,” explains Simone Bini, Head of the Contract Division at Alessandro Bini.
The project will feature certified flame-retardant fabrics, high-performance technical materials, and tailored finishes by Alessandro Bini in a curated selection of luxury residences and hospitality environments chosen by Engel & Völkers. This integrated approach goes beyond mere furnishing to deliver complete living experiences, created for a discerning, international clientele seeking quality and bespoke design.
Within this context, the partnership aims to enhance the architectural and emotional value of properties through the storytelling power of fabrics, textures and finishes that reflect the identity of each location. Every space becomes an opportunity to craft a distinctive and immersive experience – from fiber selection to design coherence.
“Florence is at the heart of a new era in luxury real estate,” says Muhanad Al Salhi, CEO of Engel & Völkers Italia. “Investing in this city means investing in beauty, innovation and the future. The partnership with Alessandro Bini allows us to raise our offering, responding to the expectations of Italian and international clients with custom and unique solutions.”
The collaboration was officially launched during Pitti Uomo, through an exclusive installation by Alessandro Bini – Tessuti d’Italia: a visual and tactile journey through new collections of flame-retardant, technical and decorative fabrics that narrate the evolution of contemporary living – where elegance meets comfort and innovation.
Alessandro Bini – Tessuti d’Italia was born from a desire to merge the elegance of Italian design with the performance of innovative materials. Based in Florence, with a production chain rooted in Tuscany, the company stands out for its sartorial approach and unwavering commitment to quality. Each collection stems from a clear vision: to meet the needs of hospitality, contract and contemporary interior design through certified, tailor-made solutions crafted with meticulous care. Behind every fabric lies a story of research, style and passion for authentic Made in Italy.
With this new strategic partnership, the two companies aim to become a benchmark for the high-end real estate and interior design market, offering turnkey solutions that combine design, supply, and stylistic consultancy.
“It’s not just about decorating a space – it’s about shaping a consistent and memorable living identity. Our mission is to create value through materials, translating the desires of those who live in these spaces,” concludes Simone Bini.
This partnership is a virtuous example of how Made in Italy can continue to innovate while staying true to its roots – bringing together different yet complementary worlds, united by the shared ambition to design the future of living with style, substance and vision.
