Bredaquaranta: Italian Design Worldwide

Bredaquaranta, a key player in the retail sector of furniture and interior design, is based in the heart of Milan, a city that epitomizes design excellence on a global scale.

The story of Bredaquaranta began in 2008, without a family legacy in the design sector, but as the result of the vision and passion of Davide D’Avico, who had built solid experience as a store manager since 1989.

He embraced the challenge of taking over a showroom on the outskirts of Milan, at Via Breda 40 in Sesto San Giovanni—an entrepreneurial venture that would redefine the boundaries of luxury furniture.

The Fatebenefratelli headquarters, located in the heart of Milan, marked the first phase of the company’s expansion. This space, which now serves as Bredaquaranta’s headquarters and welcomes international clients, was the natural evolution of a client base cultivated at the company’s original location on the outskirts of Milan.

The second phase of expansion reflects the founder’s ambition to position Bredaquaranta as a leader in the global design market.

Thanks to a shrewd and forward-thinking commercial strategy, the company has been able to anticipate and shape market trends.

Bredaquaranta stands out for its unique position in the design distribution landscape, strengthened by significant investments in strategic locations—one such milestone being the opening of the Hong Kong showroom in 2018, which aimed to bring the brand closer to its international clientele, both strategically and geographically.

In September 2024, renovation work was completed on the new Bredaquaranta Design Studio in Shanghai, housed in a historic marine-style residence in the Xuhui district.

This space was conceived to merge design, art, and lifestyle, creating a cultural hub where multiple disciplines come together to foster research and innovation.

Today, Bredaquaranta boasts dozens of flagship stores in Milan and beyond, reinforcing the company’s vision of continuously exploring new horizons while keeping quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction at the core of every strategy.
