About
We are a destination for discerning connoisseurs seeking beautiful home decor from independent Italian designers. Our collection of small-batch, handcrafted pieces reflects a deep respect for tradition, material, and meaning. At Avant Craft, we believe a home should tell a story - of culture, of heritage, of artistry.
Each piece in our collection comes with a story: of who made it, how it was crafted, and the traditions it honors. These are objects born from the hands of master craftspeople—heritage-inspired pieces that invite conversation and cultivate meaning.
Sustainability for us, begins with relationships. We are committed to fostering long-term partnerships with a community of independent designers and artisans who share our values. By supporting small-batch production, we champion a slower, more intentional way of making—one that respects both people and materials. The result is enduring design: objects crafted to be kept, not replaced.
FAQ
What is Avant Craft?
Avant Crafts is a curated design platform connecting discerning collectors with independent Italian designers. Each piece is handcrafted in small batches, uniting heritage craftsmanship with contemporary form — a quiet alternative to mass-market luxury.
What makes Avant Crafts different?
Rather than an endless catalogue, we present limited-time releases — small collections shaped around a material, region, or cultural idea. Every object arrives with its maker’s story, giving depth and meaning to the act of collecting.
Who are the designers behind the collections?
We collaborate with a network of Italian artisans and studios who honour traditional techniques while reinterpreting them for the present. Each piece is made with intention, traceable to the hands that shaped it.
Who is Avant Craft for?
Our community includes architects, interior designers, and cultured collectors who seek design with integrity — objects that carry story, soul, and lineage rather than trend or status.
What does “quiet luxury” mean to us?
Quiet luxury is about reverence — for time, touch, and the continuity of human skill. It’s found in objects made slowly, where craftsmanship whispers yet endures.
