TKBB is pleased to introduce Michele and Leonardo, an interior designer and architect living and working in Milan and who are known as The Mentors of Design.
The Mentors of Design is a consultancy service which provides a range of services to homeowners, businesses and other designers worldwide. One of the most important is Shopping Assistance as it is a service that can be provided remotely.
Michele and Leonardo have lived and worked in Milan for many years and know the city intimately. They thrive on making new relationships with designers in other countries and enjoy learning about new cultures and visions. Their Shopping Assistance consultancy was developed, above all, to allow them to search for pieces for unique design opportunities that enhance domestic spaces and beyond.
“Today, more than ever, Milan is a city full of opportunities and it is easy to access if you know how to get around. Within a relatively limited space you will find a concentration of designer furniture, lighting, home décor shops and art galleries that are truly unique. It is our goal to open these spaces to designers and homeowners around the world,” they say.
The Shopping Assistance service is there to support the international designer to curate the best design response for their client. Michele and Leonardo bring their understanding of design and architecture to ensure their expertise enhances each project. They can assist in making purchases by being on the spot to locate the perfect piece, provide advice on what to buy (and, sometimes, what not to buy), they will listen to your design brief and your client’s needs, and provide in-depth knowledge of the furniture and interiors sector. They can conduct research and provide local knowledge that adds value to your project.
The Mentors of Design apply their professional gaze to each project and can assist with unbiased opinion and advice that supports the needs of a designer located overseas. Their connections within the Milan design world span from furniture and accessories to home décor elements and works of art. In addition to his other qualifications, Leonardo also has specific skills as an Art Advisor and Art Consultant.
Michele and Leonardo personally oversee the purchase of each piece and will look after the entire process, from negotiating discounts to order management, from logistics to shipping and tracking.
If you will be in Milan for the upcoming Salone del Mobile.Milano in April please reach out to schedule a “design day” with The Mentors of Design. “Milan has its own specific soul and hidden beauty,” say Michele and Leonardo. “The insights provided by local experts can make a big difference in the success of a project”.
