Demos Mobilia | Italian Design Furniture, Vintage Design and Collectible 20th-Century Pieces
Creating Unique Interiors Through Authentic Italian and International Design
Demos Mobilia is a design gallery specializing in Italian design furniture, authentic vintage furniture, Mid-Century Modern design, and collectible 20th-century furnishings. Through a careful selection of original pieces, Demos Mobilia helps private clients, collectors, architects, and interior designers create interiors with personality, history, and timeless elegance.
We love design, beauty, and quality living. Our goal is to experience these values while respecting the world we live in.
Every home tells a story. The furniture chosen to inhabit a space should not simply fill a room, but express identity, create atmosphere, and establish a connection between the past and contemporary living.
For this reason, Demos Mobilia searches for exceptional design pieces capable of transforming interiors into unique environments: original furniture, iconic lighting, designer objects, and collectible works selected for their authenticity, craftsmanship, historical importance, and aesthetic value.
A Reference Gallery for Historic Design and Modernist Furniture
Founded by Demetrio Zanetti in 1995, Demos Mobilia was created from a passion for the history of design and a commitment to researching, preserving, and promoting original 20th-century furniture.
From the beginning, the gallery focused on discovering pieces that represent the evolution of modern design: objects where architecture, art, technology, and craftsmanship come together to create a new way of experiencing domestic spaces.
Over the years, Demos Mobilia has established itself as a destination for those seeking authentic vintage furniture, Italian modern design, collectible furniture, and rare pieces from the greatest designers of the 20th century.
The gallery’s mission is not only to offer beautiful objects, but to bring back into circulation pieces that carry cultural value and continue to inspire contemporary interiors.
A well-designed piece does not belong only to the period in which it was created. True design continues to live, evolve, and communicate across generations.
Research, Expertise and Curated Design Selection
Today, Veruska Gennari leads Demos Mobilia with a contemporary vision, strengthening the gallery’s identity through rigorous research, historical study, and personalized design consultancy.
Each piece is carefully selected through a continuous exploration of archives, private collections, manufacturers, specialized networks, and international design sources.
The selection process focuses on:
- authenticity and originality;
- historical relevance;
- quality of materials and craftsmanship;
- provenance and documentation;
- timeless aesthetic value;
- the ability to integrate into contemporary interiors.
At Demos Mobilia, a chair, a table, a lamp, or a cabinet is never considered just a decorative object.
Each piece represents a moment in design history: the vision of an architect, the creativity of a designer, the expertise of an artisan, and the cultural context in which it was created.
Furniture That Makes Every Home Unique
Demos Mobilia believes that great interiors are not created by following trends, but by choosing meaningful pieces that reflect the personality of those who live there.
Our role is to help clients personalize, complete, and enhance their homes through furniture that brings character, elegance, and authenticity to every space.
A single iconic armchair can transform a living room.
A historic lighting piece can redefine an atmosphere.
An exceptional table can become the centre of everyday life.
The right design piece creates a dialogue between architecture, materials, memories, and personal taste.
Whether furnishing a private residence, completing an interior design project, or creating a refined collection, Demos Mobilia provides access to original furniture capable of making every environment distinctive.
More Than Furniture: A Cultural Heritage of Design
The 20th century was one of the most innovative periods in design history.
It was an era when designers and architects challenged traditional ideas of living, experimenting with new materials, industrial production methods, and revolutionary approaches to form and function.
Demos Mobilia preserves and promotes this heritage by selecting furniture and objects that represent the most significant design movements of the modern era.
From Italian Rationalism to Scandinavian Modernism, from European avant-garde movements to international expressions of craftsmanship, each piece reflects a unique vision of how design can improve everyday life.
Collecting historic design means preserving knowledge, creativity, and cultural memory — while allowing exceptional objects to continue being experienced in contemporary homes.
