Demetrio Zanetti, a renowned expert and connoisseur of historic and 20th-century design, founded Demosmobilia in 1995, transforming a lifelong passion for beauty into a leading design gallery dedicated to collectible design. After more than a decade working as a theatrical actor throughout Italy, Zanetti developed a refined eye and deep knowledge of iconic furniture, vintage design, and modernist objects, carefully researching and collecting pieces of exceptional quality and historical value.
His vision laid the foundations for Demosmobilia as a reference point for Italian design, international modern design, and mid-century furniture, with a strong focus on authenticity, cultural significance, and timeless aesthetics. Today, Demosmobilia continues to reflect Demetrio Zanetti’s original philosophy, combining historical research, curatorial excellence, and a passion for preserving and promoting the heritage of 20th-century design for collectors, architects, and design enthusiasts worldwide.
