A+I brings a distinct selection of Italian furniture to the South African market. Featured brands include Cassina, Poltrona Frau, Cappellini, Zanotta, Roberti and Emu, complemented by Venini Murano glass and other prestigious names.

A+I aims to reconstruct the ethos and aesthetic of Italian interiors for the African market by focusing on the finest quality materials and finishes, with a particular focus on lighting design as a core component in any high-end home interior.

More than ‘just’ a store, A+I is an evolving project that will continuously enrich and expand its product range by introducing top contemporary talent as well as classic pieces chosen from Italian design history.

Increasingly, A+I will act as a bridge between Italian and African contemporary design, fostering a mutual exchange of products between the two markets.

The A+I team comprises architects, economists and lighting designers of both Italian and international origins, meaning if it’s an Italian-style African abode you’re after, that’s exactly what you’ll get.

A+I currently has two showrooms: one in Johannesburg’s trendy Hyde Park and another in Cape Town’s media-friendly Foundry building in Green Point.
