There is nothing ordinary about Casa Italia. From its distinctive ship-like architecture to the unparalleled Italian design throughout the four-story destination at 130 W. Commerce Ave, it offers a High Point Market experience unlike any other. Conceived by Pasquale Natuzzi Sr., founder, executive chairman, and interim CEO of Natuzzi S.p.A., who was recently named to Furniture Today’s Home Furnishings 500 as an upholstery innovator, the building embodies his vision of bringing the spirit and sophistication of Italian design to the American market. Designed by renowned Italian architect and designer Mario Bellini, its sweeping bow, gangplank entrance, and porthole-like windows make a striking first impression. Inside, bold forms, unexpected materials, signature pieces, and gracious Italian-inspired hospitality celebrate the richness and diversity of Italian design.
